    Ben Elton talks Filthy Rich & Catflap

    Ben Elton, the writer of Filthy Rich & Catflap, sat down for a chat before his recent Perth show in support of What Have I Done?, an autobiography rich with Catflappian detail. Between Ben's new autobiography and this chat, a bunch of big questions are answered. He's dropped tons of new context around the creation of the show that should keep Filthy Rich scholars (??) updating texts and speculating for years. It's enorm! Fans of The Young Ones, Happy Families, Upstart Crow, The Thin Blue Line and Ben's many novs & musicals will have a field day with the book, getting handy new details. Tuck in Loobies, this is a holy grail ep!  Thanks again to Ben, the Regal Theatre, and the stage door manager dude downstairs at The Maj.

    Nigel Planer - Young Once

    Nigel Planer's new autobiography 'Young Once' is hitting the shelves and he joins us to chat about its creation. So tune in for tres bona tales from an amazing life! Nigel recalls working with Polari-speakers in his early theatre days and working on the creation of the Filthy Ralph character with Ben Elton - and a ton of killer non-Catflap anecdotes.  Much like 'Dinner with Richie', this chat covers all the vital topics: poetry ... fine arts ... golf. (well, not golf!) Thanks again to Nigel and to Alice at John Murray Press. Cheers.
