Welcome to the second edition of The Guru - BAFTA's flagship podcast all about making film, TV and games.

This month, host Rhianna Dhillon dives into the world of acting. Inside: Chloe Pirrie (Black Mirror) and Ade Oefeso (Youngers) discuss whether the drama school route is still the best way to get work, and compare their respective experiences on Misfits (hint: Ade doesn't want his mum to see his episode...).

We return to our local pub landlord at The BAFTA Arms, who banters with Martin Freeman, Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston and more via the BAFTA archive.

And finally Riz Ahmed (Shifty, Four Lions, The Reluctant Fundamentalist) describes how a physical resemblance led to his casting in Road To Guantanamo - and explains why aspiring actors should 'cultivate their contradictions'.
