Summary

Robert Lindsay is Gyles's guest this week, and the conversation they have is brilliant: evocative, revealing, and funny. Robert takes Gyles back to his working class childhood, growing up as the son of a carpenter in a two-up-two-down house in Derbyshire; he reminisces about his parents' love for each other and for dancing and laughing together, and about the practical jokes they used to play on their neighbours. Robert talks about how he was encouraged to act by teachers at school, who spotted his talent and nurtured it; and about his time at RADA and the early days of his career. He tells Gyles about the intoxication of his days on Broadway, and how he started to believe his own hype after he won the Tony for Me and My Girl, and about the failure of the feature film he made with Carl Reiner. This is a fascinating chat, full of great stories. Thank you, Robert. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
