Private Passions

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Today Michael Berkeley meets actor Tim Pigott-Smith, most famous for his TV roles as loathsome authority figures - the sadistic colonel in The Jewel and the Crown and bent copper DI Vickers in The Vice. He's also played a wide range of roles - including perfectly reasonable people - on stage with the RSC and the National Theatre. His musical passions include songs by Mahler, Georges Brassens and the Beatles, Bach's Goldberg Variations, a tango by Astor Piazzolla and Sibelius's Violin Concerto.
