Comedian, broadcaster and author David Baddiel takes us on his own 10-track journey on Tracks Of My Years.
First coming to widespread attention as part of the comedy troupe 'The Mary Whitehouse' experience, David really rose to the 'A-list' as part of spin-off duo Newman & Baddiel. David and Rob Newman were held up as examples of comedy as 鈥榯he new rock 鈥檔鈥� roll鈥�, culminating in the first-ever sold-out gig for a comedy act at Wembley Arena, playing to 12,500 people.
After splitting with Rob Newman, David found even bigger success with Frank Skinner and their 'Fantasy Football' show, first on the 蜜芽传媒, and then later on ITV.
In later years David has toured his own standup shows such as 'My Family: Not The Sitcom' and 'Trolls: Not The Dolls', plus he's become a respected commentator, author and playwright. David鈥檚 books have sold over 2.5 million copies with translations into 30 languages, and his children鈥檚 books鈥� have won some of the highest accolades in the genre.
His latest children's book 'Small Fry' is a David vs Goliath adventure story about a boy called Benny who spends his weekends helping his dad work at their burger van parked outside the local football ground. When Benny finds his grandfather鈥檚 old recipe book, he starts cooking INCREDIBLE food 鈥� so good, in fact, that he attracts the unwanted attention of fast-food giant Bonkers Burgers...
Plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip to the 蜜芽传媒 Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week.
