I closed the bill at the CAA's Monday Night Concert on 30th November 2009. I was lucky to be accompanied by the venerable m.d. Terry White, who did an excellent job. In the audience was lovely Pamela Cundell aka Mrs. Fox off Dad's Army, now Queen of ... more
I was amazed and flattered, during the run of Think No Evil at Us at Birmingham Rep (Dec 96-Jan 97) to be asked onto legendary chat-show host Michael Parkinson's Radio 2 afternoon show. It was my birthday too so it had a feeling of significance and t... more
This is where it all went horribly wrong with Clayton and I and Radio London host Tessa Dunlop. The first one we did with her, last December, was a delight. We did another in January 2008 (not posted here yet) in which the end of our hour was marred ... more

In December 1975 I was one of the winners of the BBC's annual Jackanory Story Writing Competition. My prize was to have have my story read by Kenneth Williams. There were two anonymous presenters who read the bulk of the winning entries in the studio... more

- Erratic
The sound quality is very poor and there is no order. This is a very juvenile podcast. I can not stress how poor the sound is. Very amateur.

David Benson's ability to mimic the marvellous Kenneth Williams and Frankie Howerd is superb, he doesn't just mimic them he seems like he inhabits them and becomes them. David is a real talent and should be seen more on our TV screens.

Keep up the good work and I hope that you will keep producing more podcasts for me and many othe... more
