In this special in‑conversation session hosted by Ruth Jones, Alison reflects on an extraordinary career spanning stage, screen and radio. Expect candid stories, sharp observations and behind‑the‑scenes insights - a rare chance to hear from one of the UK’s most cherished performers.
19:15 – 20:15 SIR MICHAEL PALIN IN CONVERSATION
Monty Python. Ripping Yarns. Time Bandits. The Missionary. Brazil. A Fish Called Wanda. Small Prophets–no one has a comedy CV as long and as illustrious as Sir Michael Palin. Even though he has taken several gap years to go travelling.
Talking to Sir Michael this evening –it’s The Bishop! John Bishop. Together they’ll delve into Palin’s remarkable career- from his iconic work with Monty to his acclaimed travel documentaries and writing. Expect laughter, insight and, yes, for once, the Spanish Inquisition.
