    Actor David Ames — known for Holby City, Hollyoaks & Changing Ends — is the very first guest on Once Upon a Time. David sits down with Scott & Jamie to share the three stories that shaped who he became — spanning ancient mythology, parallel universes, and a play he read at university before he was ready to understand what it really meant.

    His choices: Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, and Tony Kushner's Angels in America. Together they trace a journey from his rural childhood in Hampshire to one of the BBC's flagship dramas — and the personal journey that rang quietly beside it.
