BBC Radio 4 - With Great Pleasure, Neil Stuke at Bristol Food Connections Festival

Actor Neil Stuke chooses favourite food writing at the Bristol Food Connections Festival.

Actor Neil Stuke chooses his favourite and funniest pieces of writing about food for the audience at the Bristol Food Connections Festival. Readers: Miranda Raison and Jack Klaff.

Neil Stuke, the actor who played Billy Lamb, the Clerk in BBC One's Silk, chooses his favourite and funniest pieces of writing about food for the audience at the Bristol Food Connections Festival. His readers are Miranda Raison and Jack Klaff.

Pieces range from Laurie Lee and Chris Stewart on the delights of Spanish cuisine, to Keith Floyd on the joys of seafood - and Geoff Dyer on his loathing of the same. Provocative lines from PJ O'Rourke, Samuel Pepys on honest gluttony, words of wisdom from Clement Freud and DH Lawrence describing what he ate on his travels in Italy complete the bill of fare.

Neil Stuke is a keen cook, who was runner-up in Celebrity MasterChef. His father was a chef, and Neil himself is a passionate food lover.

Producer Beth O'Dea.
