S11 EP8: Kyle MacLachlan: Fictional Selves, Twin Peaks and Sex & the City

Kyle MacLachlan is on board!

From the surreal world of David Lynch to the very real perils of travelling with a dodgy stomach, Kyle MacLachlan has some stories.

The Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet and Sex and the City star chats to Alan about Hollywood near-misses, the bizarre devotion of Twin Peaks fans in Japan, a romantic motorbike trip from London to Rome that didn't quite go to plan, and the surprise encounter on his honeymoon.

Plus: the big roles he turned down, what it was really like working with David Lynch, and planning a trip to Machu Picchu with Alan.

Kyle's brilliant new memoir, Fictional Selves, is out now.

Buckle up. This flight gets wonderfully weird. ✈️🏝️
