John Hannah

Episode 6 of 20

Celebrities choose the TV moments that have shaped their lives. John Hannah talks about The Champions, The Sweeney, and whose anarchic and ridiculous humour tickled his fancy.

Hollywood star John Hannah joins Brian on the sofa to take a look back at the classic television that made him the person he is today. John talks candidly about his childhood and how he went from being an apprentice electrician to one of the biggest stars from these shores.

First up, we head back to the 60s to revisit John's 'must-see TV' - The Champions. Next we take a look at the ultimate TV coppers-with-attitude in The Sweeney, a true British classic. We get to see some impressive sofa role-play between Brian and John and find out whose anarchic and ridiculous humour tickled John's fancy. Brian rounds things up by showing John a clip of his big break in gritty drama Brond and talks to him about his move to the big screen when he landed roles in hit films including Four Weddings and a Funeral and The Mummy.
