Danny Boyle joins us for Breakfast

One of Britain's most extraordinary talents, Danny Boyle, pops in for Breakfast as Chris gets face-to-face with the man responsible for the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.

One of Britain's most extraordinary talents, Danny Boyle joins us for Breakfast!

We get face-to-face with the man responsible for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games!

Danny is also the producer behind iconic films such as Trainspotting, The Beach, 28 Days Later and Slumdog Millionaire, for which he won an Oscar for Best Director. And that's just one of the mantelpiece-strainingly large amount of awards to his name!

Danny began his career by directing stage plays before moving over to ±«Óătv television in the 80's. But it was when he saw Apocalypse Now that his love for the silver screen began, and his first film, Shallow Grave, became the most commercially successful British film of 1995. Not bad for a beginner!

We're looking forward to having Breakfast with the power-house of production!
