Joan Bakewell's Dream Dinner Party
4 Extra Debut. Joan Bakewell hosts a dinner party with a twist - all her guests are brought back to life by the radio archive. From 2022.
Broadcaster and journalist Joan Bakewell hosts a dinner party with a tasty twist.
All her guests are from beyond the grave, long-time heroes brought back to life by the wonders of the radio archive.
Joan is joined by:
* Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas
* Labour politician Barbara Castle
* Acclaimed playwright Tennessee Williams
* Carry On film star Barbara Windsor
* Artist Louise Bourgeois.
As the chicken and chorizo simmers on the hob, the conversation crackles - from art and obscenity, to the Don Juan complex and parental heartbreak.
Before long, there's an unfortunate tantrum – and Joan is left picking up the pieces.
Written and presented by Joan Bakewell.
