Hear all the music on our rolling playlist: https://bit.ly/CultBunk Comedian and actor Omid Djalili joins us to talk about the joy of returning to touring (tickets available now!), taking Iranian visitors to see Chelsea FC when he was only six, and life as TV’s go-to Middle Eastern everyman. Screenwriter Kevin Sampson gives us the story behind his devastating Hillsborough drama Anne, about a mother’s fight for justice for her son. Plus the lost Bowie album Toy, The Tourist on BBC1 and much more. “When I first saw Bowie, it was like an alien had come down the chimney.” – Kevin Sampson “When you watch something in a live setting, it has a physiologically different effect on you.” – Omid Djalili “What TV can do is personalise the experience of human pain.” – Kevin Sampson “I always thought the ME in BAME must stand for Middle East…” – Omid Djalili Produced and presented by Siân Pattenden and Andrew Harrison.
