In October 2005, Rafe Spall was starring in the role he thought he was born to play. Only 21 at the time, he’d bagged a part in Anna Mackmin’s reimagining of Francis Beaumont’s 1607 comedy The Knight of the Burning Pestle at the Barbican.

To make it seem even more preordained, it was Rafe’s grandmother’s favourite ever performance by his father. No pressure, then.
