Rob welcomes a man who needs no introduction, a man who is not a Messiah or a very naughty boy, one of the pillars of British comedy: Michael Palin. Rob dives into Michael’s legendary back catalogue of work as a comedian, actor, author and explorer. The star of Monty Python also shares stories of working with Ken Dodd, Bill Murray and Lorne Michaels and reveals how his mum became the star of Saturday Night Live. Palin also speaks openly and movingly about the recent death of his wife of 57 years, Helen.
