Summary

We revisit our episode with Andy Hamilton with a re-edit! Resulting in a much more relaxed chat and plenty of unheard material. Andy Hamilton is the writer and director of Outnumbered and Drop the Dead Donkey, a regular panellist on Have I Got News for You, The News Quiz and QI, and the voice of Dr Elephant in Peppa Pig.


Andy Hamilton is our guest in episode 440 of My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
