Steve Coogan

Joining Aasmah Mir and Richard Coles is the actor, writer and comedian Steve Coogan.

He discusses his childhood, comedy career and love of cars, including his mum's Morris Minor Traveller. Deborah Alma, emergency poet, turns up in a 1970s ambulance - not with a suture but a sonnet.

Colin MacLachan on serving in the SAS before swapping his beret for a mortar board, taking a First in History, and meeting his wife in the line of duty. And author Tony Parsons shares his Inheritance Tracks: In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning by Frank Sinatra and London Pride by Noel Coward.
