Michael Palin

Mary Anne Hobbs is joined by Python, comedy pioneer and jolly nice man Michael Palin, who brightens up the entire morning and spins some ripping yarns.

A living legend, a comedy pioneer, a jolly nice man. Michael Palin guests on the show, and brightens up the entire morning.

Palin is of course famous for being one sixth of Monty Python's Flying Circus, and for presenting really great travel documentaries. He is a BAFTA fellow and a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

He joins Mary Anne Hobbs for breakfast and spins some ripping yarns.

Of course, there will also be some tasty alternative tunes, new and old, on offer.
