Ben Elton on The Beatles, Blackadder and the Burn of Criticism
We need a legend alarm... if we had one - we'd be sounding it right now. Ben Elton is not just a comedy legend who helped redefine stand-up comedy. He's not just the brains behind one of the greatest TV comedies of all time. He's not just a prolific author whose books tackle subjects as diverse as TV talent competitions to Nazi Germany. He's all of these things and much more. In the first of two episodes (Ben will be back to answer one of YOUR questions on Saturday) we asked Ben about every thing from being inspired by The Beatles (specifically George Harrison) to drinking your own urine. Trust us, it's quite a story. Ben's book 'What Have I Done' is out now Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

FROM THE CELLAR: Sir Tony Robinson
We have a cunning plan! Every week we dive into our archive of almost 500 episodes to bring you some gems from the past EIGHT years. Today - it's one of the great entertainers. Whether you first saw Tony as Baldrick in Blackadder, or as the passionate presenter of Time Team, or whether you read one of his (many) children's books Tony's been an ever-present on our screens for generations. As he launches a new book at the Hay Festival this week we thought it was a great time to revisit this episode from 2023. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Blur Drummer Dave Rowntree
Joining us a couple of days after his 62nd Birthday is one of the icons of BritPop. As the drummer in Blur he had a front row seat for the 90s music scene, and thankfully he had the forethought to photograph a lot of it. Now collated into a book 'No One You Know' he's in a nostalgic mood, and in our conversation we reminisce on Smash Hits, life before camera-phones and that time Blur played the first gig on Mars... no really! It's a fascinating chat, and if Blur's music has played a part in your life - drop us a note to let us know what you thought of the episode - you can email hello@whitewinepod.com Cheers Hosted on Acast.
