  • This week we’re in North London with the comedian and actor Marcus Brigstocke! Marcus doesn’t have a dog - however, he does have an elderly chameleon called Roy… maybe it's time for a "Walking The Chameleon" spin off?!


    Marcus is absolutely fascinating and wonderful company - and our walk covers everything from being comfortable with being called ‘posh’, what it was like to work on an oil rig, and what it was like to overcome addiction as a teenager.


    The second part of our chat with Marcus will be available to listen to on Thursday this week.
