Episode 2
Michael Palin and Jane Milligan reflect further on exclusive recordings revealing Spike's unique perspective on life. From 2018.
Michael Palin and Spike Milligan's daughter Jane steer us through more archive gems uniquely capturing her father's perspective of his life and career.
Recorded between 1980 and 1985, Spike is heard in conversation with his biographer - amid constant telephone calls and comedic discussions, to build a unique portrait of Spike at home.
Extracts from the tapes are linked to excerpts of his comedy - and with our hosts' comment, context and own stories about Spike.
The last of two programmes made to celebrate Spike's 100th birthday in 2018 - when this archive was broadcast for the very first time.
