Chris finally managed to catch up with Kevin Ford after his story went viral last year.  

Kevin is a brilliant man, a father of 4 daughters and grandad to three, he has never missed a day of work for 27 years and his life was turned on its head after a video was posted of him receiving a gift from management to acknowledge his service.

Kevin's grace, humanity and humility is an example to us all.

BONUS REVISIT! Hard to believe Robbie spoke to competitive eater James 'Webby' Web nearly a year ago. We are scratching our heads to figure out why we didn't post this at the time, but it's a great one and definitely worth the wait.  

Since this chat Webby's been around the world, smashed countless competitive eating records, climbed up the international rankings and stepped up on stage once again with the unofficial GOAT Joey Chestnuts at Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

We will check in with him again for a catch up in the future.

Chris was granted an audience with a man who has been on our screens since the early 80s. Steve Harvey was brilliant, nothing more needs to be said!  

Other than we hope he comes back to speak to all the Off Script gang in the studio soon.

Laughing gas by day, laughing crowds by night, Chris, Sonal and Robbie were in stitches with the standout Emirati stand-up Abz Ali. He's gone viral recently for his series with Abdokhj covering "Arab Misconceptions" so the Off Script team got him in to expand on those misconceptions and to talk about his double life as both a 9-5 Dentist and a late night stand up.

The Big Interview is back with a bang!  Ant Middleton is an adventurer, author, TV personality and former UK Special Forces soldier, Royal Marines Commando, and Royal Engineer in the British Army. He was, of course, the Chief Instructor on TV's SAS: Who Dares Wins from 2015 until 2021. He's a new resident of Dubai and given that we first spoke to him almost 2 years ago to the day, he's a man that we are proud to call a friend of the show.

His workload and achievements in the intervening 2 years since we last spoke put us all to shame, there was a lot to catch up on!
