Next Week On Believe It! - Danger Man




The award winning radio comedy Believe It! starring Richard Wilson and featuring David Tennant continues on  BBC Radio 4 on Christmas Day (Wednesday 25th December) at 11.30am with the third of four brand new episodes.

Celebrity autobiographies are everywhere. Richard Wilson has always said he'd never write one. Based on glimmers of truth, BELIEVE IT is the hilarious, bizarre, revealing (and, most importantly, untrue) celebrity autobiography of Richard Wilson.

He narrates the series with his characteristic dead-pan delivery, weaving in and out of dramatised scenes from his fictional life-story. He plays a heavily exaggerated version of himself: a Scots actor and national treasure, unmarried, private, passionate about politics, theatre and Manchester United (all true), who's a confidant of the powerful and has survived childhood poverty, a drunken father, years of fruitless grind, too much success, monstrosity, addiction, charity work and fierce rivalry with Sean Connery and Ian McKellan (not true).

The title - in case you hadn't spotted - is an unashamed reference his famous catchphrase.

In episode three of the second series, Danger Man, Richard Wilson explains the long-lasting influence Ian McKellan has had on his life.
