  • George Harrison

    The year is 1975, The planet, Earth. 

    George Harrison is the same age as Christ when he was put to death for our sins. 

    In the midst of one of his most creatively fertile periods, Harrison has just composed perhaps his Magnum Opus: 'Bumpty Boo'. 

    As he plucks the final flourish on his double-necked sitar, he reclines deep within the embrace of his trusty Chesterfield, waits for the inevitable knock at the door, a drifts into a state of submissive tantra.

  • Stephen Fry: On Being True Fry

    A wise hen once said: 'An argument is never won, it is only lost by the company it keeps' 

    Stephen Fry would often say things like this throughout his long and illustrious lives. 

    Come with me upon a man's odyssey through the dogged receipt of information, jocund performance of other people's art, and ultimate destination as a firm, timeless, British cenotaph.

    and see you in 14 days my loves.

  • Them Brontë Sisters
    Season 2, Episode One:
    I visit the vaunted, corking town of Haworth, famed for its cobbled streets, foreboding neighbouring moors, and perhaps most notably, sisters Anne, Charlotte and Emily Brontë. 
    I discuss their heritage, their early works, their untimely demise, and ultimately, their posthumous success as some of England's top lady writers. 
    So join me as I journey once moor into the past and present you my own very accurate view of these people who lived and died once.

  • Tamsin Greig
    All things, even slanderhour, must come to an ending. 
    This fitting epsiode that ends this series of SH is dedicated to my favourite actor: Tamsin Greig. 
    She's brilliant, isn't she? 
    What can you say about Tamsin that hasn't already been said?
    Well, that's the end of series one. 
    If there is enough demand, I may do some more. 
    I need to go away and have a think about who else is good. 
    Goodbye

  • Neil Kinnock (and the KINNOX!)

    This time, we take a long and tender look at the almost man of British Politics, Neil Kinnock. 

    From his prodigious student days (he helped discover Barium at University), to his socialist epiphany whilst meeting one of his heroes, Paul Robeson. 

    It's an emotional and action packed hour and its a fitting choice as the penultimate epsiode of series one.

  • David Attenborough and Richard Attenborough
    This week we analyse not one, but TWO famous lives:
    The fascinating and untold intimate sibling alliance of Richard and David Attenborough. 
    From their early creative and surprisingly competitive years, to their growth into separate, personal success and mutual respect. 
    We have uncovered exclusive family tapes of both brothers speaking about the other in candid detail. 
    There is nothing as sacred as BROTHERLY LOVE.

  • Patti Smith

    This week we delve deep into the world of the enigmatic God-Mother of Punk: Patti Smith. 

    We look at her early, prodigious years as an aspiring poet and artist and follow her talismanic rise to pop superstardom, with some dramatic twists and turns through Philadelphia, New Jersey and finally, the Big Apple. 

    It's an emotional and touching tribute to one of the strongest characters to emerge from the artistic fulcrum that was New York City in the late 1960s.
