Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Pals Gordon Smart and Martin Compston launched their podcast three years ago. 3 Sun man Matt Bendoris interviews Martin and Gordon for the launch of their podcast in 2022. Martin, 41, is currently in Dublin filming the Paramount+ series The Revenge Club, while Gordon, 45, splits his time between hosting BBC shows in London and Manchester. Last night Gordon said: 'Restless Natives is going on a hiatus. 'The diaries have finally imploded trying to get us together with his filming and my radio and telly stuff. 'So Wednesday and Friday this week will be the last podcasts.' Their podcast was named after Gordon's favourite 1980s Scots flick that featured actors Vincent Friell and Joe Mullaney as highway robbers the Clown and the Wolfman. Over the three years Martin from Greenock has admitted missing out on a role in BBC hit Peaky Blinders because he 'couldn't do a Brummie accent.' While Scots Hollywood star James McAvoy told the pair he had 'smashed' his knee filming a group sex scene for a movie. And presenter Paddy McGuinness claimed on their podcast how he saw Prince Harry rip down a picture of the late Queen during a 'wild party' night in Chelsea. Last summer Martin and Gordon also filmed a version of their Restless Natives show for BBC Scotland's coverage from the Euro Finals in Germany. The dad of two adds: 'We've done 300 shows in three years exactly. 'Plus two live shows, ten telly shows in Germany - so now it's time for bed.'
