Episode 6 of 6

TV鈥檚 Rising Damp sitcom legend Don Warrington joins Peter Curran and Patrick Marber to riff in the dark. From 2017.

The unlikely trio of actor Don Warrington, playwright Patrick Marber and writer/producer Peter Curran lie in the dark together and discuss life's great mysteries.

What did medieval children build in the sand when on a beach holiday?
What is the definition of heavy breathing?
Did someone, 400 years ago, change Shakespeare's tragic words spoken by King Lear for a laugh, and to wind-up older actors forever?

Don Warrington played student lodger Philip opposite Leonard Rossiter's Rigsby in the classic TV sitcom Rising Damp. After a successful career on stage and screen, he now finds himself laying on the floor and trying to get to sleep on a pull-out mattress while being talked at by two people, uncomfortable in their Bunk Bed.

Producer: Peter Curran

A Foghorn production for 大象传媒 Radio 4, first broadcast in September 2017.
