Who's Up For Ten To The Top?
Actor, writer and comedian Paul Whitehouse picks the songs that soundtracked his life in this week's Tracks Of My Years. Plus more clips from the Vault.
Actor, writer and comedian Paul Whitehouse chooses his Tracks Of My Years all this week.
Paul - who was a plasterer at the time - was first inspired to give comedy a go after working with his friend Charlie Higson on a house shared by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. He first shot to fame appearing on Harry Enfield's Television Programme and went on to really establish himself with cult sketch programme The Fast Show.
Paul has also appeared in a number of films, including Corpse Bride, Alice In Wonderland, and King Of Thieves, and since 2018 he has enjoyed huge success in 'Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing' with Bob Mortimer.
Paul's is set to go back in to Only Fools And Horses The Musical, which he co-wrote with Jim Sullivan, the son of the TV show鈥檚 creator John Sullivan. Paul starred as Grandad in the original West End cast when it opened in February 2019, and he is now reprising his role in the UK tour.
