Bob Mortimer - Part 1

Bob Mortimer – one half of legendary comedy duo Reeves and Mortimer, and star of ‘Would I Lie to You?’ and ‘Gone Fishing’ – joins Charlie to chat about music, song lyrics, his favourite ever film, going to the opera, recovering from heart surgery, working with Paul Whitehouse, the similarities between fly-fishing and classical music – and plenty more besides. This episode features an extract from the Prelude of Bach’s Cello Suite No.2, played by David Kenedy, used with permission from Signum recordings and available here: The extract of Verdi’s Otello was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by Colin Davis, available on the London Symphony Orchestra’s own label, LSO Live: The Halle Orchestra and Mark Elder were playing Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony, available to buy at halle.co.uk.
