Welcome to the podcast. If you like listening to somebody who knows his onions and is able to talk about those onions with great eloquence and articulacy, articulacy, is that a word? It is now. Then Dave Gorman is the man for you. Now, I hadn't seen Dave for about, God, it must be about 15 years. We were both on an early show of mine called annually retentive. But I hadn't really seen him since then.

He's perhaps best known for his wonderful PowerPoint presentation shows.

Prior to those, he was part of the hugely successful team of writers on the Mrs. Merton shows.

And in this interview, he talks very

eloquently, very movingly about the great Caroline Ahern. We also learn about his early days.

He went off to university where things didn't go quite to plan. Rob, why are you telling me this?

I'd rather hear it from the horse's mouth. He's not a horse. He's a man.

And what a man he is. It's Bryden and Dave Gorman.

I'm delighted to welcome because it's a reunion.

We haven't seen each other for some time now.

Oh, the spirit of old Wogan has entered the room.

I don't know why.

Dave Gorman.

Thank you very much, Rob.

I felt even more of a reunion when you slipped into Wogan because...

It's hard not to.

It was never far away.

It was never far away back then, was it?

Of those four impressions that you do, Terry would feature...

That's such a pleasing sound when he would bubble away in the corner of the room.

It is. And I feel you reach for it when you feel your sincerity is not 100%

and you wish to reach for some sincerity.
