They chat about why the dentist in Peppa Pig never does any dentistry, how Andy got on to the writing team of Not The Nine O Clock News, why his first sitcom taught him some important lessons (whilst not being the most remembered of his work), how the BBC bodged getting Drop The Dead Donkey and the incredible casting story of the kids from Outnumbered, the incredible story of the man who pretended to be Andy Hamilton, Rich’s attempt to turn Andy’s life into a musical and why actors like to get some input from writers Support Smelt here  https://www.leadmojo.co.uk/smelt Watch The Kit Curran Radio Show here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxkHDn00A70&list=PLjVRVyRgpZFKNkMJSRokgZIOsqkVck7WI SUPPORT THE SHOW!
