The Love Song and Tim Vine

Tim Vine, award-winning comedian, actor, writer and presenter, chooses the Tracks of My Years. There's the daily love song plus another round of PopMaster.

Tim Vine, award-winning comedian, actor, writer and presenter known for his one-liner jokes and his role in the 大象传媒's 'Not Going Out', chooses the Tracks of My Years. Born in Cheam, Surrey, Tim has performed in numerous sell-out shows in the UK and beyond. His six stand-up DVDs include the latest tour Sunset Milk Idiot which came out at Christmas 2018. His vast wealth of material has been preserved in books such as The Biggest Ever Tim Vine Joke Book and the Tim Vine Bumper Book of Silliness. He has also won Best Joke at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe twice. Recently he has been seen on 大象传媒1 in Tim Vine Travels Through Time, on ITV hosting the quiz Football Genius and on Dave in Taskmaster. He hosts The Tim Vine Chat Show on 大象传媒 Radio 4 and his Youtube channel Tim Vine Televisual serves up nonsense every week.

Following a one-off sell-out show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019, Tim is bringing back Plastic Elvis. Backed by the popular five piece High Noon Band he will be belting out some of the King's greatest hits - something he's been doing since he was a child. With special guests John Archer as Big Buddy Holly and song writing legend David Martin who wrote four songs for the real Elvis. Tim says this is a tribute act that is forty years in the making and now it's time to go public. Come September he will be taking it on tour starting at The Orchard Theatre in Dartford, reaching London's Eventim Apollo at Christmas and culminating at the Swansea Grand Theatre in February next year.

Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
