Episode notes

I write about it in the book because it all went a bit Pete Tong. Oxford Review is Rowan Atkinson, and then from Python's is Michael, Palin, and Terry Jones. And lots of others, including people like Stephen Fry, I think, and also David Mitchell. So that's a bit cockney rhyme something. Yeah, it went horribly wrong in my year. Wow. Well, if only there are a novel dealing with this, dealing with this information. But it was probably the most dramatic thing which has ever happened to me in my life - both good and bad.

James Harris is a writer, comedian, English teacher and language learner (French, German, Chinese) from England. In this funny chat, we talk about learning Chinese, being married to a Chinese woman and his semi-autobiographical book, "Midlands" which tells several funny and touching stories about two ex-pats living in Germany; Stuart, who is a stand-up comedian trying to understand the Germans, and Doug who gets involved in a love affair. James reads several passages from the book during the episode.
