Emma Freud revisits the much beloved character - Nigel Pargetter - with the help of actor Graham Seed, writer and producer Julie Beckett and Freddie Pargetter (Toby Laurence). Graham Seed, who played Nigel, reflects on his character's popularity, his infamous gorilla suit, his marriage to Elizabeth - and his sudden end. We unite father and son as Freddie Pargetter (Toby Laurence) meets his radio dad for the first time and try to spot what 'Nigel' traits Freddie has inherited.
