On January 12, I chatted with Bill Buckley on BBC Radio Berkshire about both Carry On and Only Fools and Horses. You can catch the interview here:

A Chat with Sally Geeson

A few weeks ago, I had a wonderful chat with the lovely Sally Geeson. Sally shared some wonderful memories of working with Sid James on the much-loved Bless This House. The interview was published on my Sid's Place website but just in case you missed it, I'm republishing it here.   



From 1971 to 1976, Sid James was a very familiar presence in the life of actress Sally Geeson. During this time, Sally appeared with Sid in every episode of the beloved smash-hit sitcom Bless This House, as well as the big-screen spin-off film, Along the way they also starred in two Carry On films together..

A Nostalgic Chat with Steve James

Back in 2016, I had the pleasure of having a Skype video chat with Steve James, successful music producer and the son of my comedy hero, the one and only Sid James. This interview was first published on Sid's Place, my tribute blog to Sid. With it being Father's Day today, I thought it an appropriate time to republish my chat with Steve here as he recalls many wonderful memories about life with his famous dad.
