LIVE from Long Island Who 60 on August 19, 2023! We had the pleasure of entertaining a fantastic live audience by interviewing none other than actor/author Michael Troughton! We discussed his career so far, visiting the Doctor Who set 3 times as a child, his time as a physics teacher, and yes, even some animal impressions. Then we switch gears as Michael presents his Pick of the Month, the legendary Rowan Atkinson BBC comedy classic, Blackadder! How did we all discover this show? Which quote from the show does Michael use in real life? What was it like attending a live taping with Rowan Atkinson? All this and more! Special thanks to Michael Troughton, Ken Deep, Billy & Steven Davis, Kyle Williamson, and all the good people at L.I.
