The Tingle Factor - Spike Milligan


THE TINGLE FACTOR - SPIKE MILLIGAN (320kbs-m4a/63mb/27mins)

BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 21st April 2025

Comedian, writer and jazz musician Spike Milligan explains to Robin Ray why certain musical moments enrich his life.

It's a rare opportunity to hear Spike talk about influential pieces of music ranging from jazz to opera.

He includes a performance (The Queen Of The Night's Aria) which he thoroughly enjoys because it's so "awful".

Milligan started out as a band musician in order to earn money. Music ran in his family and he played the guitar and the trumpet, before war interrupted his musical career.

Producer: Andrew Mussett

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July 1989.
