Our next guest was, until the age of 11, a massive Doctor Who fan.
Around that age, he was sent away to school, and finding himself lost, he heard Bob Dylan.
And like a baby animal, he cleaved to that thing that gave him great comfort.
Please welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Robin Hitchcock!
And this is John Paul Jones.
