Rory Bremner is one of the country's leading comedians and impressionists. He's been making the nation laugh since the 1980s, often by taking a sideways look at the people in power.

Rory’s career has seen him write and star in iconic shows like Spitting Image, Whose Line Is It Anyway and Mock the Week, as well as his long-running series Bremner, Bird and Fortune.

This is part one of our conversation, during which we talk about many things including his childhood and the impact of losing his father when he was still young - part two of our conversation will be released on Thursday 22nd February.

This episode is produced by Red Bicycle.
