Listen "Rowland Rivron"
Episode Synopsis
This week a slight departure as we go back forty years to the alternative comedy landscape of the 1980s and Tyler chats with Rowland Rivron, that difficult-to-define Swiss army knife of a man who has done a bit of pretty much everything: musician, comedian, actor, writer, voice-over artiste, panel game captain, television presenter, dancer and at least a dozen other things. Rowland was partly responsible for one of the funniest hours of British television: The Comic Strip Presents Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, starring Rik Mayall & Adrian Edmondson. Tyler was keen to discuss this in particular with him in a conversation which also covered: Interviewing Spike Milligan Sharing a flat with Rik MayallRaw Sex and The Idiot Bastard Band Money for old rope voiceover workInterviewing Tony Blackburn in the middle of the ThamesThe Groovy Fellers and Set of SixWorking with French & SaundersWinning Let’s Dance For Sport Relief doing Weapon Of ChoiceGetting drunk with Kevin McNallyShooting Stars & Jack and Jeremy’s Real LivesCaravanning around Europe … And a whole lot more!
