Jim Carter

In this episode Bunny is in the garden with Jim Carter.

For Downtown Abbey fans, Jim is instantly recognisable as the butler Carson. Aside from being Carson he has starred in many tv series and films including ‘Shakespeare in Love’, ‘The Golden Compass’, ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’,  and ‘The Good Liar’.  Most recently he starred as Abacus Crunch, in the 2023 film Wonka. 

Hear about how gardening is a brilliant hobby for actors to have, as it fits in well with down time between acting commitments, so much so that it united the actors on the set of Downton Abbey. Listen how Jim exploits his front garden, sitting in it and enjoy it, as well as this back garden. In England this is rare, as most front gardens have a street frontage and are lacking in the all important privacy. Hear Bunny’s envy on seeing Jim’s man cave, the most beautiful arranged shed, the envy of any gardener. And discover how Jim is trying to get gardening on the curriculum.
