In GBA 305 we get better acquainted with Dave. He talks about recreating the first series of the sitcom The Trip with his best friend, the smell of motor racing, being a fan of comedy, how Blackadder, Asterix and the city of York influenced his interest in history, being comfortable being and living on your own and lots more.

We recorded this conversation in a snatched hour within a family get together.

Dave plugs:
