We fought valiantly against bad network connections and awful weather to bring you our thoughts! A Bob Dylan jukebox musical theatre show.. it's an unlikely idea. Did the cast of Girl From the North Country impress The Captain? El Tele has a problem - eating with chopsticks? What's all that about? The Captain knows what he prefers to eat with too.El Tele has found another series to slump onto the sofa and watch, and listens to a new podcast starring Jim Moir and Morgana Robinson. Prompted by El Tele's viewing of How To Build A Girl, we delve into a discussion of film adaptations of books. Do they disappoint or delight? Let us know. Another question that's bugging us.. can you think of any pop stars who went on to be well respected in other music genres?We say farewell to James Caan and Monty Norman (mentioned in our James Bond Special), and ask you for a favour, dear listeners.Show notes and links at https://www.onlyapodcast.com/episode-19-chopstick-chat-and-films-of-books/

Episode 18 - Taking Care of Business - The Elvis SpecialIn this episode, El Tele gets some weird earworms, and trails a new book by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker. He looks forward to a new film starring Vic Reeves, and a new season of Only Murders in the Building. He follows it up with comments on Obi Wan Kenobi, The Lazarus Heist podcast, and New Zealand comedy Nude Tuesday.Tom Hanks, Austin Butler and cast wowed us both in 'Elvis'. We digest and dig into the exhibitionism and playfulness of Baz Luhrmann's cinematic extravaganza. This episode also features The Captain's 'Elvis 101' - the best books, films and albums from the Presley canon, a summary of the essential stuff you really must see and hear. And to close, an original song about Elvis, written by Justine, a former bandmate of El Tele's.It's Alright Presley - © Justine Long, performed by JJ and the Swordfish, 2013.Full show notes and links at https://www.onlyapodcast.com/episode-18-taking-care-of-business-the-elvis-special/

She talks of her happiest times, and of the significant challenges she faced. “What I would like to have been, and I may have failed in this sometimes, is somebody who allowed and protected people to do their best work.” In her own words, this is the Lesley Douglas story.

Adam talks with British comedian Bob Mortimer.Hi. Adam Buxton here with some notes about Bob and this episode.For nearly 30 years Bob and his comedy partner Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves) have stuck doggedly to what makes them laugh whether mainstream audiences get it or not, with shows like ‘The Smell Of Reeves & Mortimer', ‘Bang Bang It's Reeves & Mortimer', ‘Catterick', and ‘House Of Fools' as well as the occasional reboots of the massively popular panel show ‘Shooting Stars' and the show that introduced them to the world in 1990, ‘Big Night Out'. Consistently and inexhaustibly joyful, energetic and absurd, their parade of characters, silly voices, home made props and a sensibility that is often close to avant garde performance art, has made them two of the best loved and most influential comedians the UK has ever produced. When not working with Jim, Bob enjoys watching football. He's an avid supporter of Middlesbrough FC and is currently the co host along with comedy writer Andy Dawson of the vaguely football themed podcast, ‘Athletico Mince'. It's up with the funniest stuff Bob's ever done.My conversation with Bob, took place in the London office of his agent and for a while we had to battle with some quite loud talkers in the corridor outside doing agent business (I was too weedy to ask them to be quiet), but that calmed down after a little while and we rambled about getting older, the TV shows that Bob enjoys, his new fishing show with old friend and fellow comedian Paul Whitehouse, music, petty crime and now and then we looked back over a few Vic & Bob moments from the last 30 years. It was a fun conversation that often revealed a softer and more gentle side to Bob than people might expect. It's a good bet that he would feel quite deeply nauseated by that last sentence and perhaps a few before too.Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and Matt Lamont for additional editing.

The comedian, actor and artist Jim Moir aka Vic Reeves is Matthew Parris' guest and chooses the life of Don van Vliet - the Dadesque musician and painter Captain Beefheart who has influenced many musicians since the 1960s. They are joined by Beefheart's biographer Mike Barnes to discuss the bizarre and complex persona developed by the Californian eccentric who died from MS in 2010. Producer: Maggie Ayre.

The latest episode of the podcast covers the big week of drama on the Street between the 18th and the 22nd September. There'd certainly been a lot of hype before this week started, what with Corrie switching from five to six episodes and the promise of one of the show's biggest ever weddings, but who exactly made it down the aisle, and which bride's day turned out to be a bit of a damp squib? Needless to say, we were pretty darn happy with how things unfolded, although we were left a little unsure about whose side we were supposed to be on when the Eva and Aidan drama came to a head. In addition to the double (treble?) wedding ceremonies, we were also treated to the arrival of Jim Moir's character, Colin this week. His portrayal of the charismatic competition organiser was a winner in our book, but what's his game with buying The Kabin? Also this week, Rita gets a shock diagnosis, Kirk generates buzz from his mayoral campaign speech, and there's more glasses action from Will. After Street Talk, we're thrilled to be joined by Richard Hawley, who talks to us about his two years playing Johnny Connor on the Street, and gives us the behind the scenes goss about this week's wedding drama. After that, there's some news that's sure to make fans of classic Coronaton Street happy in The Kabin, then we round off the show with some more listener feedback.

Comedian and painter Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves) meets designer Steven Thomas, whose work includes the lavish interiors for the renowned Biba fashion superstore in London in the early 1970s - acclaimed by one newspaper as 'the most beautiful shop in the world'. His other clients include Paul McCartney, who commissioned Steven and his design partner Tim Whitmore to create his London headquarters. Steven remembers the freedom he was given to create a retail world unlike any other, and reflects on having the confidence to say yes to creative opportunities - regardless of experience. He also outlines his belief that the pressure of a deadline and some moments of zen-like calm in the midst of a busy office can lead to the best ideas. Producer Clare Walker Original music by Brian Eno.

Actor and director Tony Pitts meets comedian and painter Jim Moir, also known as Vic Reeves.

Jim Moir doesn't think that he's too old to skydive. Henry had a conversation with Jim and found out that Jim used to skydive competitively.  When he retired he said he was obviously too old for competition because the youngsters thrash him. Jim couldn't just retire from skydiving though, so he redirected the skills and experience he had built up over decades. So he's still involved in the sport he loves. Henry follows Jim's progress in life and parachuting, from beginner to competitor to champion and instructor.  Not only does Jim like to parachute out of airplanes, but he also taught his wife to skydive.  She went from a novice to a champion skydiver in under two years. Jim lives in Melbourne, Australia, as do many of Henry's guests.  They go over what equipment you need.  Henry and Jim talk about why you can skydive at any age. They talk about the great innovations in the sport.  And why age doesn't matter.  Do you want a heart stopping feeling of exhilaration?  Try skydiving.  At any age. But that's not all. Even if you aren't interested in jumping out of an airplane, listen to Jim and Henry talk about how you can use your skills to make your retirement great.  The camaraderie of continuing a sport or an activity into retirement can make the activity worthwhile. During the interview Jim mentions flying with a wing suit.  If you have never seen this, watch this YouTube video to get you excited, or shake your head in horror. How can you apply Jim's suggestion of extending your hard won experience to your retirement?  Let us know with a comment in the reply box below.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the comedian Jim Moir, best known by the name of his alter ego Vic Reeves. Jim was born in Leeds but soon moved to Darlington with his family. He attended the local school and left with one O level in Art. He fulfilled the expectations of his school by getting a job in a factory, completing his apprenticeship and working there for four years. However, he was bored so he moved to London with three friends. After trying a few different jobs he began running club nights - with music, acts and entertainment. He would hire a venue and the bands and he would be the compere. Jim decided to take on the persona of Vic Reeves as it gave him an excuse to act up. A comedy night came up and instead of booking three comedians, he decided to do the whole night himself. Vic Reeves' Big Night Out was born. After teaming up with Bob Mortimer, a solicitor who had been in the audience of one of his shows, the show went from strength to strength. It was a huge success and TV rights were fought over by the BBC and Channel 4. Since then, he has appeared on both channels with a variety of programmes including The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, Shooting Stars and Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased). The programmes have won BAFTA Awards for Originality and Best Live Performance plus British Comedy Awards.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams Book: Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome Luxury: Potato seeds
