ALI PLUMB

​

Ali Plumb is a writer, journalist, broadcaster and one of the most-heard movie critics in the UK - though to some he may be best known as a die-hard Paddington fan, owning more plushie Paddingtons than he cares to publicly admit and once organising a live watch-along of Paddington 2 during the lockdowns. A five-year Empire Magazine veteran and former Digital Spy Movies Editor, Ali is now BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra's in-house Film Critic, appearing weekly on Greg James' Breakfast Show and Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie.

 

His iPlayer interview series 'Movies With Ali Plumb' sees him speaking to A-listers such as Jennifer Lawrence, Steven Spielberg, Emma Stone and Tom Cruise, with numbers on YouTube hitting as high as the 10 million mark (and even higher on Instagram and TikTok). He's hosted

press conferences (such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Guardians Of The Galaxy), as well as the likes of Star Wars Celebration, the BBC Proms and, um, his own highly geeky big screen quiz, "Ali Plumb's Untitled Film Quiz Project". You should go one time, it's fun.
