RHLSTP with Richard Herring: RHLSTP 566 - Maurice Gran

RHLSTP #566 - Get Back! Richard is back at the Podcast Room for an interview with a real comedy legend, Maurice Gran, co-creator of Birds Of A Feather, Shine On Harvey Moon, Love Hurts and of course Goodnight Sweetheart. They chat about how Maurice and co-writer Laurence Marks seemed thrown together by fate; working with three of The Young Ones, but especially Rik Mayall in The New Statesman; how they got caught up in Michael Winner's Bullseye; the unwitting strangers who inspired Birds Of A Feather; and the paucity of ambition of Gary Sparrow and how you can help the Goodnight Sweetheart adventures to continue by backing the kickstarter (unless Rich gets in there first with Goodnight Goodnight Sweetheart Sweetheart) and how Rich might finally find himself associated with Gary Sparrow after all.
