Nigel joins Genevieve to reminisce about making the cult 1980s British comedy The Young Ones.

He explains the origins of his character Neil, how he got involved with Band Aid and recalls some of the dangerous stunts on the show - including the time he got injured by a giant chocolate eclair!

Nigel also talks about leaving Neil behind, moving into theatre and musicals, and treats us to his Magic Roundabout voice.

Plus he chats about writing one of the first parenting books for dads, shares some of his haikus and imagines a future world that has lost all our data after a digial meltdown in his new novel, Jeremiah Bourne in Time.

**Please note there is some swearing in this episode
