It’s the end of the series and Rich wonders how tourists in Kings Cross will feel if their last action of earth is to queue to stand by a fictional wall. His guest is a man who has a lot of stories about how he got into comedy, it’s Mark Steel.
They chat about eating pork pies with Joseph Heller, helping failed escapologists, an idea for a brand new radio 4 panel show, whether you can stand for political office and still be a comedian, the extraordinary story of Mark’s birth parents, what it’s like having a child going into comedy and getting your own back on a snooty Darwin expert. It’s a fabulous end to what has surely been the best series yet. Will the commissioners bring the show back? Yes of course they will - more in September (and a couple of specials coming out before then too)

Mark Steel is a genius and seems not to age. Richard Herring is my favourite interviewer. He surprises most of his interviewees with his research and he is content to listen to their answers. I look forward to the next RHLSTPs.
Easily one of the funniest and most interesting guests ever. Always been a fan - can't understand why he isn't more recognised for being one of the best comics in the UK...
If you mean Mark Steel, I think he is.
I adore Mr Steel and I think this is one of the best RHLSP’s, thanks
welcome to the Appreciation Club..... but anyone who says 'what's the point if we draw Easter Island we'd lose to the statues' i'm searching the son
This one is an absolute blinder . Love Mark Steel !
This is one of the best RHLSTP to watch. Mark Steel is superb. I highly recommend you listen to his radio 4 programme 'Mark Steel's in town.
Steel is utterly brilliant. Have him on again, please.
I'm binge watching. Fantastic interview.
The ultimate insult in the Comedy Marks confusion came in 2003, when Mark Thomas played the Left Field tent at Glastonbury. It was packed for his whole set, and when he finished the place emptied out almost completely. Then Mark Steel came on and did what an intimate but very funny set. I felt so bad for him that I sat right at the front and tried to look really supportive.
i think mark has been my favourite this year
Mark Steel is truly magnificent!
Went to see him last year...he was so good and even took the time to find stuff out about my naff little town. Love him!
I always forget how good Mark is at accents. Even Geordie, which is one of the hardest ones to do.
Hilarious end to the series, I've always enjoyed Mark's work. I hope the podcast returns again.
I didn't read the description. See you in September, then.
One of the best. Thanks Rich and Mark.
The Mark Steel Lectures are very funny and informative well worth a look ,sadly his mates lefty comics Jeremy Hardy and Linda Smith died too young ,its good that Mark like the "Dude"abides.
that was awesome richard. gonna binge watch some mark steel lectures now.
Good to see Andrew on again so soon.
Beat me to the punch!
I've got my Frog Tape.
"'Ow can you say...? 'Ow can you say...?"
I thought this podcast with Mark was one of the very best ..... as an aside i decided to check our Elliot Steel on RUclips and watch some of his stand up. Now I can safely report this - MARK - YOUR JOB IS SAFE. I wouldn't sweat it at all......
This is in my top 10 RHLSTPs and I've no idea who this guy is.
You should definitely look up the Mark Steel lectures they mentioned. You'll enjoy.
Have to agree that was brilliant, Mark Steel was on fire. I always liked him on radio 4 shows, but here he's just amazing. One of the best RHLSTP's of all time.
He kills it on news quiz in the small number of recent ones he is on. When I was listening to last weeks (or perhaps the one before) I thought that Susan Calman was doing a perfect Steel impression. I know a lot of comedians naturally copy each other's style due to working together for a long time, but fuck, the whole time of her monologue I was thinking 'this is great, but would be better if Mark actually did it himself'.
I know this is an old thread but Mark is on The Bugle podcast a few times - he’s always great. They’re on RUclips 👌
This is really good, Mr. Herring is so funny (right from when he does his introduction, when the music intro ends,) at the beginning and Mark Steel is brilliant. I'm gonna miss these RHLSTP's (rhlstp(s.))
Did I miss it, or were there no emergency questions at all? A high accolade for Mark Steel if so
Very good point. It was brilliant, but I'm still interested in which chocolate he would have up his arse.
Such a good podcast, though laughing this much didn't help my fractured ribs! Finishing on a high with Mark Steel.
A great show. I saw Mark at a lot of SWP benefits back in the day. Always good fun, unlike those horrible paper sales outside tube stations, which was a mad thing to do with my leisure time! Pointless!
this is something special
Wahey! I got to see two new ones in one day. Lovely stuff!
Are you on email?
That flew by! I need at least another 3 hours. Felt like was only just getting started.
I've heard Mark Thomas is a big-headed in real life but that Mark Steel is the kind of bloke you can hang out with.
I'm not so sure, I met Mark Thomas after his recent show at Stratford East, he hung around for ages afterwards chatting and joking with everyone.
Ah, maybe someone just caught him on a bad day then x
His on-stage character kind of is big-headed, but he gives the impression of being quite friendly. I get a feeling he does have a big impression of himself, but I don't think that that makes him kind of a dick, you know?
Livelongandpostmemes Memes Absolutely. I think it helps he's just a bloody good bloke who initiates real social change. That, and his McDonalds bit on Comedy Product one of the funniest clips I'll always keep going back to
Oh! Andy Burnham's let himself go! Terrific episode. Can you get Sam Harris on? I'd like to hear him take three and a half hours to answer the human centipede question!!!
:) I first saw Mark Steel on HIGNFY
I was waiting for the Mitford sisters, gutted.
excellent as always. the House for Jesus I've known about for years, it always brings up the question, ''Why Does God Need Money?''....discuss
He took out a loan with Ocean Finance to create the Universe. Which makes sense if you think about it. He wanted to finance an ocean, among other things.
Fabulous looking forward to seeing you live at some point ☺
Steven Tyler had a 15 year old girlfriend.
He was signed over as her legal guardian.
She had his abortion.
One day she accidentally burned one of his houses down
when he was on tour.
Now she was covered in burns,
he didn't fancy her anymore,
so he legally gave her back to her parents.
RHLSP. which celebrities have been on twice?.. David Mitchell and ....
27:50 The clip of the caller Mark is referring to is available on RUclips as "James O'Brien's Proof That Brexiteers Won't Listen To Reason"
Excellent stuff.
Finally. Didn't know he was gonna be on. 'T was good.
Excellent.
richard, ..i'm sorry but it felt you cut the conversation short. i understand this is a fine line, but watch it back
We had to stop so we could do the get out, so there was an end time, which I took us right up to and a bit beyond and then left it once the final story was up. So in fact I packed in more than I should have. All the best.
Another great SERIES......still hoping for Frank Skinner in SERIES 14!
CollectioNeo why?
Ugh, please no. He would probably be quite good. But I don't like the man.
Rich's T shirt kinda matches the curtains in pre intro intro.
Oh, your "Artistic", that explains a lot :P :)
Sittingbourne whoah yeah!
seb coe, slave owners .... i thought so to once mark reminded me of that fact!
You should try and get richard fulcher, matt berry, matthew holness and richard ayoude on in the future .
Cheers for the laughs Richard! Hope you get some good down-time. Guest suggestions for the new/future sea-ries:
Tim and/or Jeremy Vine
Jo Brand
Adam Buxton (obviously)
Dawn French
Rob Brydon
Nick Parsons
Tim Key
Alex Horne
Simon Pegg
Nigel Farage
Alistair Campbell
Paul Foot
Claire Balding
Marine Le Pen
Edward Snowden (via Skype, obviously)
John Mcafee
Sean Lennon
Krist Novoselic
Or Dianne Abbot
You secure an interview with any one of these in future and I’ll become a badger!
Can you do Andy the Nuclear Physicist? I'd love to see one with just some guy and he's got a wonderfully interesting sounding job. I don't even really care how much you have to rely on the emergency questions.
Farage? waddafuq?
I'd love to see Rob Newman
Stewart lee (again) would be good
@@TheXitone
Sean Lennon and Krist Novoselic might be a bit of a stretch too.
"My 8/9 year old son talked about Easter Island head statues and the theory of relativity." That happened.
Shock illegal betting scandal in the Herring vs Herring snooker tournament.
Top bloke. I'm still laughing about the Robert Robinson thing.
The Marks brothers
RHLSTP at its finest !
Get Jim Bayes on.
Где стюарт ли?
Где новые спэшлы Ричарда Херринга?
Где это все?
The pub game. Equal to the inappropriate Muppet movies.
is the mark steel account of his origins just another of his comedic fantasies.
Not that awful baggy jumper again!
Michelle Hanson he looks so Scruffy
really...you care? ffs lol
Well done for not wasting the money on stupid new clothes. ..content is more important than the wrapper. X
2020 anyone?
There's nothing wrong with saying season instead of series, unless you're a Briton clinging on to some kind of weird form over function Britishness. I could go through why season/series makes more sense than series/series...I just did, really.
Nx Doyle ....... just like colour is not color, the season is what you do during cooking, or when you’re weather watching . Series it is.
Nx Doyle or would saying "run" solve all the grammatically troubled night's tossing and turning? Or is that prompting apathetic folks to complain? Or which side of the pond does run belong on? Or is it like a fish? No recogniser of national identity?
APRIL APRIL definitely segment. It's a bourbon biscuits type problem. Add more options. And biscuits. Both series and season sound a bit too rich tea. Both ... too bland for the contents
True dat. Hot chocolate cookie I’m afraid
APRIL APRIL fine choice of biscuit. Two back to back, dunked. Changed my life when I figured that out
Excellent podcast, but yet again we barely get through the first five minutes without the now prerequisite pro-EU virtue signalling. Then again, it wouldn't be Mark Steel if we didn't get a bit of questionable political bollocks.
Only a wanker would pick on something like that from a fantastic interview. Well done.
