| 01 | 01 | 20180418 | From Dirk Bogarde to Maureen O'Hara via Matthau and Pudsey.
Actor, writer, raconteur and impressionist John Sessions mixes showbiz stories, intriguing history, extraordinary impressions and fabulous one-liners all linked to and from him in this entertaining series.
John's dazzling array of skills - storytelling, erudition, vocal re-creations and comedy - are all brought into play as he starts each episode with a story or fact related to himself, takes us all over the place by linking people, ending up back with himself.
Each show is a quick-witted, Peter Ustinov-style rollercoaster of storytelling: bizarre and brilliant, eccentric and effusive, autobiographical and alliterative, full of incredible impressions and droll digressions along the way.
Written and performed by John Sessions.
Producer: Liz Anstee.
A CPL Production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in April 2018.
