THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST

EP.259 - ERIC IDLE


Listen Later

Adam talks with Eric Idle about random stuff including the special relationship between comedians and musicians, his friendships with David Bowie, Peter Cook and George Harrison, how he coped with seismic and alarming world events in the 60s and why Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life became more than just a funny way to end Life Of Brian.

Conversation recorded face-to-face in London on 27 June, 2025
