Listen "Jane Milligan "
Episode Synopsis
This week Tyler is in conversation with actor & musician Jane Milligan who very kindly agreed to talk about her father Spike.
Among things discussed:
* Pixies, Fairy Kings and Badjelly!
* Harry, Peter & Mike!
* Spike's opinion of 'newer' comedy and his love for the greats!
* On the set of The Muppet Show!
* Wine, Wossy and THAT comment!
* The misconception that Spike was truly mad
And much much more, including poetry, Milligan Preserved, The Bed Sitting Room, jazz, Larry Stephens, Dallas (yes, really) and why Spike in later years referred to himself as a 'parcel'! (Oh, and Jim McDonald from Corrie WAS in Puckoon, so he was.)
Plus, Jane talks about her close involvement in projects which are keeping the memory of Spike alive.
