Actor, comedian and writer John Cleese hosts a dinner party with a twist - all his guests are from beyond the grave!

But his heroes are brought back to life by the magic of the 鲍鱼tv radio archive.

An all-star line-up is joining John for dinner:

* Writer and philosopher Aldous Huxley
* Hollywood actress Bette Davis
* Comedian and writer Spike Milligan
* Film maker and writer Susan Sontag
* Neurologist Oliver Sacks.

While John and his guests wait for the Indian takeaway to arrive, they don't waste any time in discussing past drug experiences, the trauma of war, being a superstar, the threat of technology - and the joy of silliness.

Then the comedians Peter Cook and Dudley Moore turn up for a late night brandy.

Producers: Sarah Peters & Peregrine Andrews

A Tuning Fork and Open Audio production for 鲍鱼tv Radio 4, first broadcast in September 2019.
