For those who have not seen the show yet (if not, why?), it centres upon the Roy family, the owners of Waystar RoyCo, a global media and entertainment conglomerate.
Dysfunctional, mean and very, very rich, its siblings are launched into a battle for control of the company following their controlling, tough patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) falling ill.
While at times feeling like a contemporary re-imagining of Shakespeare's King Lear, the show comes from Peep Show co-creator Jesse Armstrong, so it's also very funny and filled to the brim with incredible insults.

In the run-up to season three, Rory also had the pleasure of talking to a number of the show's stars, including Alan Ruck, J. Smith Cameron and Matthew Macfadyen.
