Childhood
Andy remembers his favourite childhood sounds, including the ice-cream van and the roar of Stamford Bridge. From 2017.
Writer and comedian, Andy Hamilton shares his observations and reminiscences about his personal life and 40 years working in comedy.
For starters, Andy recalls his favourite childhood sounds of the ice-cream van and the roar of the Stamford Bridge. Plus his memories of being an overcautious and yet inattentive parent.
The rest of this four-part series looks at Politics, The Human Body and Animals.
Using comic observation and personal anecdotes he explores each theme, examining how much (or how little) things have changed over his 60ish years.
It’s Andy’s thoughtful, social history, but packed with laughs.
Producer: Claire Jones
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in October 2017.
