Summary
After our festive break, the Movers & Shakers are back in the Notting Hill pub with glad tidings for the new year. Gillian and the Judge have been sunning themselves (in Antigua and Australia, respectively), Rory has been hitting the Vegas strip, Mark has been battling with Turkish Airlines, and Paul has finally completed shooting of his new film. But Paul isn't the only Mayhew-Archer bringing life with Parkinson's to the screen. His son, Simon Mayhew-Archer , is the creator of Can You Keep a Secret? a new sitcom (loosely) based on his old man. Simon joins the gang, along with actor Mark Heap , who plays almost-Paul on the small screen, to discuss the family dynamics behind one of the BBC's best new comedies. Movers & Shakers is brought to you by Cure Parkinson's . Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman. Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot. Sound mixing by Ewan Cameron. Music by Alex Stobbs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
