Radio Times: Review by:; Alison Graham

Peter Kay is a notoriously difficult comedian to interview; not that he doesn’t have anything to say, quite the opposite, he’s voluble and very funny. But it’s hard to pin him down when you want a serious answer. I know, because I have tried. He’s great company, though.

Judging by some online audience reviews — In Conversation was filmed at the Blackpool Opera House last month — disgruntled fans didn’t think interviewer Danny Baker got near the real Kay. But maybe it’s best to judge for ourselves. During their chat Kay talks about how he does what he does, both on stage with his record-breaking gigs, and in TV shows Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere.
