489. NEW EPISODE: Ben Elton on The Beatles, Blackadder and the Burn of Criticism
43:38||Ep. 489We 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 nowCheers!
