They chat about how Neil and Nicholas Craig emerged from Nigel’s real life experiences, why the American Young Ones helped to give birth to a major part of the Simpsons, seeing Laurence Olivier’s dancing feet beneath the curtain and sitting next to Spike Milligan, how doing Evita ended up in counting the number of times Nigel put on his trousers and why We Will Rock You’s multiple performances were more happily accepted, how his book is a love story to both his wife and the people he has worked with over the years, how a surprising number of the Young Ones went to public school, the Comic Strip reunion where Nigel sweated over the bill and the incredible experience of working on Yellowbeard. Plus having a scientist dad who wants to see what all the fuss about cannabis is about!
