Time to open the door to a very special guest President this week, the fascinating and fabulous Phil Davis!
Grab your Thermos and come for a ramble with us as guest President Davis leads us through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is an eye on the proceedings!
First stop is destination number 335: Socialism and Related Systems. "Can an actor ever be a-political?" It would appear not! Join with us as our first ramble takes Phil from his childhood beginnings to working with the legendary Joan Littlewood, founder of the Theatre Workshop.
Next we're heading toward 757: Human Forms and their Parts. Anyone who has seen Phil's work will know of his uncanny ability to inhabit a character. But how does this relate to wanders around the National Portrait Gallery? And what is the connection between this and the working practices of Mike Leigh? A deep dive into Phil's working processes begins...
...and continues as we head into our third and final destination- 919: Other Areas. Well that relates to travel but if the Dewey Decimal System can be vague then so can we. For once the team don't even make an attempt with the given subject. There's a lot still to talk about from Phil's career, and that's before we even get started on the legendary Quadrophenia!
It's a deep dive this week. After we're done we'll get you back down the shed to get your breath back!
Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, involving very special guests. It drops every Friday on every podcasting outlet known to man. We’d love it if you came along for the walk. If nothing else, it’ll help you get your steps in!
