As well as, of course, what sort of dog each character from the play would be.

Old friend and former tour partner John Hewer of Hambledon Productions joins us this week to largely talk nonsense, reminisce and laugh under the guise of talking about his show. Dracula: One Bloody Fang After Another is a ludicrously silly one man lampooning of Bram Stoker's classic where John plays 18 different roles!

YORKSHIRE!
