The award winning radio comedy Believe It! starring Richard Wilson and featuring David Tennant continues on BBC Radio 4 at 11.30am this morning with the third of four brand new episodes.
He narrates the series with his characteristic dead-pan delivery, weaving in and out of dramatised scenes from his fictional life-story. He plays a heavily exaggerated version of himself: a Scots actor and national treasure, unmarried, private, passionate about politics, theatre and Manchester United (all true), who's a confidant of the powerful and has survived childhood poverty, a drunken father, years of fruitless grind, too much success, monstrosity, addiction, charity work and fierce rivalry with Sean Connery and Ian McKellan (not true).
The title - in case you hadn't spotted - is an unashamed reference his famous catchphrase.
In episode three of the second series, Danger Man, Richard Wilson explains the long-lasting influence Ian McKellan has had on his life.
