Book of the Week - My Name is Daphne Fairfax - Episode 3

Comedian Arthur Smith reads from his autobiography, which reflects on the nature of comedy and his days as a scruffy kid on the bombsites of Bermondsey, a wild-haired undergraduate, a road sweeper, an English teacher, a failed rock star, a boozed-up sexual adventurer and an intensive care patient who has been told never to drink again. Growing up and growing old; Arthur's thoughts on the male mid-life crisis, as he faces depression. Plus how a unique rendition of Hamlet allowed him to smile again. A Heavy Entertainment production for BBC Radio 4.
