Desert Island Discs

Jack Dee is the guest on the iconic radio programme.

His persona is that of the laconic miserabilist but that is only part of the picture: even though showbusiness was in the family - his great grandparents were in music hall - his early working life ranged all over the place. From grafting in the kitchens of The Ritz to working in an artificial leg factory - at one point he even seriously considered the priesthood.
