    A man who needs no introduction: comedian, writer and TV host Jimmy Carr. In this conversation we find out what makes Jimmy tick and hear about his origin story: he tells Gyles about his childhood in Slough, and his close relationship with his charismatic mother. We hear about his dyslexia, and how teachers at school encouraged him to apply to Cambridge. We hear about what, if anything, is off-limits in comedy, and the importance of being present for your children. Gyles and Jimmy also discuss the distinction between charm and charisma. Plus we hear about Jimmy's new movie, Fackham Hall, out in the UK on December 12 2025 (today!)


    This is a revealing, wise and yes, charming, conversation with one of the most well-known comedians in the UK.

  • More Rosebud biography special with Roger Lewis

    More Rosebud biography special with Roger Lewis
    Dec 9 2025

    On this episode of More Rosebud we meet the celebrated biographer, journalist and writer Roger Lewis, "a bundle of nerves and rage and disappointment". Roger is the author of several acclaimed biographies, including Erotic Vagrancy, about Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. In this extremely funny and fascinating episode, Roger tells Gyles about his childhood in South Wales, he was the precocious eldest son of an affluent family of butchers and farmers. He talks about his university days, how he studied under John Bayley, and how he became a writer. Woven through this life story are interesting discussions of memory and recollection, and of the self and identity, and of what it means to reconstruct someone's life into a biography. This episode is well worth your time, and Roger's unstinting honesty as he talks about himself and others will stop you in your tracks and make you laugh. Enjoy this.


    At the end of this episode Gyles and Harriet have an exciting announcement about the Rosebud Family, the new subscription service we're launching in the new year 2026. More details coming soon!

    If you're a fan of pop music, radio, or the legendary "Sounds of the 60s" show, then you'll know and love our guest today: Tony Blackburn. And Tony is part of broadcasting - and music - history: he was the first ever disc jockey on air on BBC Radio One in September 1967. We hear about this, and about how Tony and others - including Kenny Everett - helped to create the new figure of the DJ in the UK and to completely change the cultural landscape. Suddenly young people could hear the music they loved, all day long, on the radio. Tony talks about all this, and also tells Gyles about his childhood in Poole, his loving parents, his inspiring sister, his schooldays. He talks about his days on the pirate ships, and about his first marriage, and about his singing career. And this whole episode is full of laughter and fun. Thank you to Tony for coming on Rosebud and for recording such an evocative and fascinating conversation.
