Nigel Planer has been a towering figure in British comedy since the late 1970s. From his anarchic exploits with The Comic Strip to his portrayal of the hapless student Neil in The Young Ones. Today Nigel takes us on a journey through comedy, literature, and the wonderfully weird corners of his life. He reveals the surprising real-life inspirations behind his most iconic characters, shares tales from the golden age of music and comedy, and gives us an insider's look at his new book, Young Once.Host: Dan SchreiberGuest: Nigel PlanerProducer: Cassie MerrittSenior Producer: Ben TullohHead of Factual Podcasts: Al Riddel

Die Berliner Comiczeichnerin Katharina Greve ist eine Meisterin der seriellen Comicstrips, die Abenteuer des Alltags immer wieder in absurde Kontexte bringt. Etwa wenn sie die Probleme der dicken Prinzessin Petronia mit ihrer Mutter und der Welt auf so winzigen Planeten erzählt, dass die ebenso missmutige wie feministische Petronia ganz groß wirkt. Jetzt hat Katharina Greve einen Klassiker adaptiert - nämlich die berühmten "Vater und Sohn"-Geschichten von e.o.plauen. "Meine Geschichten von Mutter und Tochter" heißt der Strip bei ihr - und auf radio3 erklärt Katharina Greve, wie sie den Klassiker ins 21. Jahrhundert gezeichnet hat.

So our journey this episode takes us to a recital, where Amos and Edda get a less than glowing review from a critic. They are SO BAD at taking any amount of criticism that they go onstage the next night to flip the critic off. Oh wait! Yeah. In this world, Amos and Edda have a multi-night engagement AND the critic comes to EVERY performance AND writes about every performance. Just like in real life! So Amos flips off the audience (as a way of showing the audience that he disapproves of the critic's take) and Edda joins him. Then there's a reaction to THAT reaction, which also rubs Amos and Edda the wrong way. Because why wouldn't they be anything but, as they admit, childish, vindictive and ridiculous? There's a brief Sunday strip sidebar about how a bunch of scientists ask Amos to ask Edda how she keeps her boobs in her dress. I wish we were kidding about this, but no, this is REALLY what the Sunday strip is about. Then we return to the critic storyline where the critic shows up for a THIRD STRAIGHT performance to explain himself to Edda. She takes it well, and by that I mean she threatens to make him strip naked and dance in front of the audience. But only for the first 100 attendees. Yeah. It made zero sense to us either.
