This radio show, which includes Amy, was put together with audio snippets from the BBC sound archive. Amy shows up at the Dinner Party when the doorbell rings at 8:30 ...


Shappi Khorsandi's Dream Dinner Party (BBC Sounds - 28 minutes)

Comedian and author Shappi Khorsandi hosts a dinner party with a twist. All her guests are from beyond the grave, her heroes brought back to life by the magic of the BBC radio archive.

She’s joined by poet and memoirist Maya Angelou, broadcaster and comedian Kenny Everett, actor Richard Burton, post-war Labour politician and feminist campaigner Dr Edith Summerskill and singer songwriter Amy Winehouse.

While the saffron-inspired Persian feast simmers gently, the conversation around the dinner table heats up. But the early tensions soon dissolve as Shappi and her guests discuss the joy of music and the power of the human voice, home and exile, fighting prejudice, and Elizabeth Taylor. Alongside frank confessions, there's laughter, singing and tales of love.

That was actually really interesting! I loved Amy's short comments and laughs throughout the conversation. Very clever.
