Listen In: Jeremy Dyson & Mark Gatiss

Jeremy Dyson & Mark Gatiss

You heard a new "mini road movie" for Radio 4 by Jeremy Dyson, followed by a Q&A.

This was an opportunity to listen to a playback of a newly recorded radio drama, 'High Cockalorum,' written for Radio 4 by Bradford’s Jeremy Dyson and featuring fellow League of Gentlemen member Mark Gatiss.

There was also a Q&A with Jeremy and Mark, hosted by Director Nadia Molinari.
High Cockalorum is set in Jeremy’s home city of Bradford in 1978. Inspired by a true story, a touching, funny encounter between a Hollywood superstar, James Mason, and a humble Yorkshire man, thrown together by circumstance. A meditation on fame, success and what ultimately matters.
