成人快手

Greg James is back for another trip deep into the 成人快手 Archives, and into the past, as he uses current stories and overlooked anniversaries to guide him to audio gold.

This week, for the first time ever, Rewinder comes to you in front of a live audience at the Crossed Wires Festival in Sheffield, and features a very special star guest....Sir Michael Palin!

Michael helps Greg on his archive quest, uncovering the time Michael was interviewed live on Radio Sheffield in the back of a cab as the taxi dispatch radio kept cutting in. They look back to when floundering Sheffield Wednesday, languishing in the third division, tried to turn things around by bringing in a consultant clairvoyant, and they listen to the worries of ordinary Sheffield residents from 1959 - dogs, buses and students were on one woman's mind.

Michael relives moments from his childhood, as he remembers being terrified by the 成人快手's early crime and sci-fi dramas like Fabian of the Yard and Quatermass and the Pit. Greg digs out Michael's first ever travel documentary, Confessions of a Trainspotter, which was the programme that led to all of Michael's subsequent travel adventures.

And a trail of letters takes us back to Michael's first ever appearance on the 成人快手 when, aged 21, two sketches he co-wrote and starred in were broadcast on television. But the letters suggest he might never have been paid.

Plus there's Python, cutlery, pork pies and much more...
