Coming out of a blockbuster franchise like Potter, you can't go much further out of your comfort zone than taking to the Broadway stage for the 50th anniversary revival of a beloved musical.

He basically staggers about a pub doing some drunk acting and looking maudlin while mouthing along to this track from the folkish Sheffield duo. But the song is excellent and it was filmed at Finsbury Park's Faltering Fullback, aka one the best pubs in London.

Playing against-type s oddballs and misfits in kooky things is all very well, but Radcliffe's first foray into romantic comedy could be a more tricky proposition. Due out next year, he plays Wallace, a young man who develops feelings for woman involved with someone else, and finds himself in the dreaded "friend zone".
