Saturday Live

Harry Enfield and Nina Conti


Listen Later

Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles are joined by Harry Enfield, who’ll be telling us how he went from part-time milkman to BAFTA award-winning comedian, actor, writer and director, creating characters such as Tim Nice-But-Dim, Smashie and Nicey and Kevin the Teenager and how now he's playing the Prince of Wales.

Catriona Rennison, who has just started as a junior doctor despite being discouraged from following a career in medicine after being treated for anorexia as a teenager.
James McNicholas, is a writer and performer who’ll be telling the story of his grandfather, Terry Downes aka ‘The Paddington Express’ who held the World Middleweight Boxing title in 1961, and about his own heavyweight story of trying to live up to the champ's legacy.
Nina Conti started out as a spear carrier with the RSC but after meeting the actor Ken Campbell, took up ventriloquism, and for the last twenty years she and her dummy Monkey, have played to sell-out crowds in Edinburgh, London, Melbourne, Sydney and New York.
We have the Inheritance Tracks of broadcaster Emma Barnett, who chooses Cheek to Cheek by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong and The Time is Now by Moloko.
And your Thank you.

The Windsors: Endgame is at The Prince of Wales Theatre, London

The Champ & the Chump by James McNicholas is published by Headline.

Producer: Annette Wells

Editor: Eleanor Garland
