Danny Rogers was the child who had it all - a great home with a loving family and a Dad who had made millions as one of the UK's most recognisable light entertainers. But by the time Danny was 11, the money had gone, his Dad was dead and he was in care.

Finding a way of embracing the spectre of his father - singer, comedian and host of 1980s Saturday night classic gameshow 3-2-1, Danny has forged a career as an actor, presenter and entertainer in his own way, and has also turned the tumultuous story of his life into a one-man show, "Bin and Gone" (special guest appearance in that, as in this interview, from the legendary Dusty Bin).

He talks to Dark Unicorn Productions' Artistic Director Paddy Cooper as they discuss overcoming obstacles, the joy of panto and acting alongside the world's most famous silent bear.
