Matt Berry presents a series of interviews with the greats of the stage, screen and music world.

Matt interviewed Uri Geller at his home in 1974 just as the self-proclaimed psychic's star was on the rise.

Geller wasn't keen at first, but eventually agreed and was very welcoming. He was becoming quite a global star back in the early 70s and there was much fascination, not to mention the odd sideways glance, at the very mention of his name.

Matt actually met him first on the dance floor of Tramp's night club a year earlier but Geller said he had no memory of it. Not wanting to let such a snub deter Berry, he soldiered on and within this interview managed to get a real sense, of the real Uri Geller.

Written, performed and edited by Matt Berry.

Producer: Matt Stronge.

A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2018. Show less
