Blagger's Guide To Bob Dylan - The Blagger's Guide To Bob Dylan
To coincide with Bob Dylan's European tour dates, this one-off programme takes a light-hearted look at the 50-year career of one of rock's most enigmatic singer-songwriters.
Further details
With a mix of faked archive material, improbable sketches, made-up adverts, and a man with a West Country accent shouting at you, The Blagger's Guide treats Dylan with a blend of irreverence, reverence, mischief and affectionate teasing. What was the real reason Dylan sang in a nasal whine? What was the extent of his involvement with the liberal elite? Are you an ex of Bob Dylan? Do you need a dedicated helpline? Did you miss Bob Dylan's Animal House in the cinema? Did you know that he meant Rambo not Rimbaud all along? How did the snare from Like A Rolling Stone fare on its appearance on the David Letterman Show? How did wife Sara react to Bob's mid-life crisis? How similar is Bob Dylan to Jeffrey Archer? All these questions and other, more fatuous ones will be answered.
