There's an article by the producer of I've never seen Star Wars on the radio 4 site that mentions Tim a couple of times - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/iveneverseenstarwars.shtml

I'm assuming however that trying drugs is NOT one of the thngs they get Tim to do for the first time!

I’'ve Never Seen Star Wars is where I get to gently cajole my guests to try things they’ve never tried before. Since recording the series I’ve discovered that the quickest way to get to know a person is to have a list of things that most people have done, and then ask them if they have or haven’t done the things on the list. It’s really simple, but in an hour I got to know more about Paul Daniels [pictured below] than Debbie McGee probably does. For example, since the Sixties, he has owned an original Beatles LP of Revolver, and not only has he never played it, he has never listened to any album of any kind, ever. Hard to believe. Almost as hard to believe, is that Tim Brook Taylor, who turned twenty in 1960, and was in the most psychedelic comedy show ever, has never tried any drug, and has never eaten a fish. And bizarrely, the culturally well-endowed comedian Mark Steel [pictured, top, outside a barbers] had never seen or read Hamlet, and Eve Pollard, despite working in Fleet Street for decades, had never had a pint of beer. That would be like Phill Jupitus admitting that he’s never tried a Findus Crispy Pancake. Actually, he hadn’t, until he appeared on the show.

I’m interested in why people have avoided certain quite ordinary activities, because it an be so revealing. And then I get their take on what the experience feels like for the first time.

I also think the show taps into something that has been a recurring theme in my life – the need to explore new things, have new experiences, turn over every stone because, even if all you find is a dead woodlouse, at least your curiosity has been satisfied. I’m the sort of person who, if I see an exotic morsel, and I don’t know what it is, I’ll pop it in my mouth and asks questions later. Often in bed with a high temperature.

The show really came about because me and Bill Dare, the producer/devisor, were looking for something to do that wasn’t political, just fun. (Not that politics can’t be fun – my career rather depends on proving that it can be just that.) If I were my own publicist I’d be saying ‘we wanted to show that Marcus has a softer, gentler, side’ or some nonsense like that.

But what I’m quite keen to get across is that this show is not about challenges or doing exotic things like paragliding over the Taj Mahal naked. I certainly don’t want to see another celebrity in tears of joy or pain because they have or haven’t managed to dance/sing/play-the-spoons better than some other celebrity. And it’s not some sort of Jim’ll Fix It either, because my guests don’t get to choose all the experiences. Tim Brook Taylor wasn’t very keen on having to buy his first ever porn magazine, and Paul Daniels’ first attempt at reading some feminist literature wasn’t something he’s ever likely to repeat (although he did claim that he might write a feminist tome himself, which we all look forward to). No, this show is about asking people to try things that are neither especially unusual or difficult. (Although Mark Steel’s first attempt at constructing a stool from Ikea did prove quite a challenge.)

This may sound pretentious, but a lot of poetry is about seeing the very familiar as if for the first time – seeing something fresh about something ostensibly banal. At its best I think I’ve Never Seen Star Wars can show us ordinary experiences through the eyes of those who’ve never tried them before, and that’s rather interesting, a little bit inspiring, but mostly good fun.

Someone posted this on another forum I post on about the Never Seen Star Wars programme (which was called It's Later Than You Think at teh time of recording). Sounds ... interesting.

Went to The Drill Hall last month to see a recording of It's Later than you Think with Marcus B. He was pretty likable and fun (with a pretty sound knowledge of rap and sushi, it seems) and I spent a very enjoyable 90 minutes as he interviewed Tim Brooke Taylor about things he's never tried or doesn't like. If they don't include the stuff about Tim going into a porn shop (for the purpose of the show, I hasten to add) on broadcast (Bill Dare seemed to be a bit nervous about it) remind me to relate the story here. It's a corker.

Looks like BBC 7 will be repeating two episodes of "The Long Hot Satsuma" (with Graeme Garden & Barry Cryer") again.  The first is on Thurs, Sept. 25th at 11:30pm (the second should be the following week at the same time).

Still no air date for Tim's episode of "I've Never Seen Star Wars", but a Times article at http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article4731627.ece mentions his upcoming appearance.

Radio Head: a Star Wars abstainer

It’s a brave man who will admit to a failing. It’s a clever one who turns it into what looks like being a highly entertaining six-part series beginning next Thursday (Radio 4, 6.30pm). Bill Dare, the veteran comedy producer (The Mary Whitehouse Experience, Spitting Image, Dead Ringers, The Now Show) has never seen Star Wars.

Leaving aside the obvious question of “Why not – are you weird or something?” this has both sparked and given a title to I’ve Never Seen Star Wars, in which Marcus Brigstocke invites a number of familiar radio voices (and the journalist Eve Pollard – so that’s what happened to her) to pursue similarly virgin territory.

It’s a revelation, in that it tells us even more about our favourite celebrities than an instalment of Desert Island Discs. Kirsty Young might be able to drag from her guests the information that they were beaten regularly as a child and then went on to split the atom in their basement, but here we learn for the first time that Phill Jupitus had never previously eaten a Findus Crispy Pancake or Mark Steel constructed a piece of flat-pack furniture. Frankly, neither assertion rings true, but then I still refuse to believe that Bill Dare has never seen Star Wars. I really have to stop harping on about that.

Steel, for example, is a fine example of proletarian man, a cricket-loving socialist who surely would regard turning his hand to attaching strut B to plank X with screw Q as a rite of passage. Does he buy his furniture ready-made by ancient craftsmen from chi-chi antique shops? That clatter you hear is scales tumbling from eyes across the nation. Far more likely is that he has never had tea at the Ritz, but then you don’t have to be the Voice of the People to not have done that, just nonAmerican.

I can believe that Tim Brooke-Taylor has never previously listened to hip-hop. He doesn’t need to. No one over the age of about 17 needs to, which is why Tim Westwood is so funny. But has Paul Daniels never really cooked a meal? Does the lovely Debbie McGee do everything for him? And if she does, isn’t it terribly sad? It does explain, though, why he has never read a feminist book, except for the purposes of this programme.
