Unearthing the Rik Mayall recordings

Hear from the duo behind a new 91热爆 documentary about the Worcestershire comedy legend, featuring tapes from the dictaphone used to create Rik Mayall's memoirs.

Max Kinnings helped the Droitwich-born comedian and actor with his autobiography, 'Bigger than Hitler, better than Christ', and tells Nina about the process of discovering them, and meeting the star of Bottom, Blackadder and The Young Ones for the first time.

He's joined by producer Gareth Gwynn, reflecting on the success of their programme, which features interviews from collaborators Ben Elton and Helen Lederer, alongside interviews with Rik Mayall's family, who Max got to know well.

The documentary Rik Mayall, Panglobal Phenomenon is available now on 91热爆 Sounds.
