Gary Davies sits in with Griff Rhys Jones choosing his Tracks Of My Years
Vernon KayAvailable for 21 days
Comedy icon Griff Rhys Jones is taking us on his ten-song journey this week in Tracks Of My Years. We've known and loved Griff's work since the late seventies in shows like Not the Nine O'Clock News, It'll be Alright on the Night, Three Men In A Boat and Restoration, but he's still perhaps best remembered for his long-running partnership with the late Mel Smith in 'Alas Smith & Jones'. Away from comedy, Griff has hosted multiple arts and travel documentaries, including Griff’s Great Australian Rail Trip, Griff’s Great Kiwi Road Trip and Griff's Canadian Adventure, and next year he's hosting a new Channel Four travel documentary exploring the Southern States. Griff has won two Oliviers, two British Comedy Awards, two Baftas and an Emmy, and he's currently on a theatre tour with his one man show The Cat’s Pyjamas. Having first started last year, the show sees Griff "sharing witty observations and rambling comic stories covering a diverse range of subjects: from TV travel, his childhood, Welsh family, age, fraud, late night trains and nostalgia to the TikTok generation, crocodile smuggling, and opal noodling in Australia." Plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, more music history in De Ja Woo, and the Record and Album Of The Week. Produced by ѿý Audio for ѿý Radio 2
