Arty Facts

Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today: Master J is joined by actor, comedian and television presenter Ross Lee to continue exploring a career that turns out to have been far too long to fit into a single programme. The conversation moves from children's television to Hollywood and the unlikely journey that eventually saw Ross sharing the screen with Pedro Pascal, Karen Gillan and David Duchovny in Judd Apatow's The Bubble. We ask why some of his shows have become "lost media", whether there really are master tapes gathering dust in his loft, and why he has become almost as fascinated by AI as he once was by hidden-camera comedy. For more information visit Master J on Facebook. [Repeats Friday 3.30pm.]
