Another chance to hear Phil Collins discuss his life and career in a candid, hilarious and fascinating special with Johnnie after recently announcing his return to the live arena, reissuing his solo back catalogue and writing his autobiography Not Dead Yet.

This includes what he calls camera shutter moments - the early family fun on the river Thames, the acting, the music, the hits, the misses, his inability to say no to work, his marriages and divorces and the tabloid headlines. Phil ultimately brings us around to today's happiness, in both his personal and professional life.

Phil started his career as a child actor and remembers the occasion when he ended up on the cutting room floor (with the Fab Four).

The early music breaks also feature large in this chat - seeing Cream in London during the swinging 60s, one of his first sessions - working with another solo Beatle (and again getting cut out of the finished album), and the moment when the light bulbs came on above the heads of Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford (during the unnecessary auditions for a replacement singer in Genesis) after Peter Gabriel left. He also goes into detail about the personal and technical feelings and milestones which determined the path of his solo career.

Above all, as one of the few people to sell more than 100 million records worldwide, Phil goes through his amazing solo success, creating the extraordinary In The Air Tonight, working with royalty, Disney and his idols The Who and Eric Clapton, amongst many others.

First broadcast in 2016.
