We need a legend alarm... if we had one - we'd be sounding it right now.

Ben Elton is not just a comedy legend who helped redefine stand-up comedy. He's not just the brains behind one of the greatest TV comedies of all time. He's not just a prolific author whose books tackle subjects as diverse as TV talent competitions to Nazi Germany. He's all of these things and much more.

In the first of two episodes (Ben will be back to answer one of YOUR questions on Saturday) we asked Ben about every thing from being inspired by The Beatles (specifically George Harrison) to drinking your own urine. Trust us, it's quite a story.

Ben's book 'What Have I Done' is out now

Cheers!

We have a cunning plan!

Every week we dive into our archive of almost 500 episodes to bring you some gems from the past EIGHT years.

Today - it's one of the great entertainers. Whether you first saw Tony as Baldrick in Blackadder, or as the passionate presenter of Time Team, or whether you read one of his (many) children's books Tony's been an ever-present on our screens for generations.

As he launches a new book at the Hay Festival this week we thought it was a great time to revisit this episode from 2023.

Cheers!

Joining us a couple of days after his 62nd Birthday is one of the icons of BritPop. As the drummer in Blur he had a front row seat for the 90s music scene, and thankfully he had the forethought to photograph a lot of it. Now collated into a book 'No One You Know' he's in a nostalgic mood, and in our conversation we reminisce on Smash Hits, life before camera-phones and that time Blur played the first gig on Mars... no really!

It's a fascinating chat, and if Blur's music has played a part in your life - drop us a note to let us know what you thought of the episode - you can email [email protected]

Cheers

Welcome back to White Wine Question Time

Our guest today is the brilliant actor Jason Watkins, and this is a great conversation that starts with his incredible ancestry, and takes in his time studying at RADA, what he's learned about relationships and his reflections on the loss of his daughter to Sepsis. We promised Jason that in the notes for this episode we'd post links to the UK Sepsis Trust and the NHS so please take two minutes to familiarise yourselves with the symptoms - it isn't an exaggeration to say that reading these might help to save a life.

SPOT THE SIGNS OF SEPSIS

NHS ADVICE ON SEPSIS

Thanks to Jason for joining us, I hope you enjoy the chat,

Cheers
