Daniel Radcliffe talks to BBC Radio 1’s film critic Ali Plumb about taking on the role of Tim Jenkin in prison escape movie - Escape From Pretoria, out now on Amazon Prime Video. Based on a true story set in 70s South Africa, Daniel talks about what it was like getting to grips with the South African accent, learning more about the impact of apartheid on the day to day lives of South Africans, and working with James, his hand double for the film.

Plus, he tells us about some of the bizarre mementos and props he’s kept from his years working on Harry Potter sets, as well as his ultimate TV guilty pleasure!
