Summary

We revisit our episode with Griff Rhys Jones with a re-edit! Resulting in a much more relaxed chat and plenty of unheard material. Griff Rhys Jones is probably best known for his sketch comedy work, most notably in the groundbreaking Not The Nine O’Clock News and for over a decade in Smith & Jones, alongside the late Mel Smith. More recently Griff appeared as one of the Three Men In A Boat for multiple series on BBC1, was the host of BBC4’s Quizeum, written many books and has fronted a number of acclaimed documentaries for ITV .

Griff Rhys Jones is guest number 438 on My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .

Griff is putting on three Christmas shows to raise money for the charity EACH, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice. With acts including Ruth Jones, David Baddiel, Joe Pasquale and Ruthie Henshall.
