Geoff Norcott

Comedian Geoff Norcott, actor Marisha Wallace, undercover cop stories with Shay Doyle, and the 1972 tragedy of the Battersea Big Dipper with listener Hilary Wynter.

Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles are joined by comedian Geoff Norcott who has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Mash Report, Mock the Week and Question Time, had sell-out Edinburgh runs and two national tours. He is also a rare breed in comedy – a β€œright wing comedian”.

We also have singer and actor Marisha Wallace who is a Broadway and West End sensation. Born and raised in a small town in North Carolina, Marisha has done it all, from tap dancing at the Tonys to nannying for Philip Seymour Hoffman to performing at the Queen at the Royal Variety Show.

Hilary Wynter was a child when, in 1972, she was involved in a terrible accident at the Big dipper in Battersea park where five children died, she tells us of her memories.

Shay Doyle worked as an undercover police officer, tackling some of the criminals he grew up with in Manchester, he joins us.

Columnist and broadcaster Grace Dent chooses her Inheritance Tracks: Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood's Jackson, and Human League, Being Boiled.

Producer: Corinna Jones
