Gary Davies sits in and Ben Miller picks his Tracks Of My Years

Gary Davies sits in and actor Ben Miller chooses the songs that soundtracked his life in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

Gary Davies sits in and chats to actor Ben Miller about the songs that shaped him in Tracks Of My Years.

Ben Miller first made his name as one half of the comedy duo ‘Armstrong and Miller’, and alongside Alexander Armstrong, won a BAFTA for their sketch show.

Since then, he’s enjoyed playing increasingly more dramatic roles like DI Richard Poole in the first two series of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ crime drama Death in Paradise, and more recently, he’s played the title role of Professor T on ITV. Ben’s no stranger to big movies either, and his film credits include two films in the 'Paddington' series and ‘Off The Rails’.

He’s now also a very successful children’s author and has published ten novels since beginning in 2018. His latest, ‘Robin Hood Aged 10 3/4’, is out now.

Find out what music soundtracked his diverse career all week. Today you can hear his second two songs.
