Bookmarks: Mark Mitchinson takes the high road

From Afternoons, 2:18 pm on 27 February 2019

Mark Mitchinson came late to acting but he's now become a very well-known face and with a new series, High Road, which has just been picked up by the on-demand platform Lightbox.

He plays washed-up 70's rockstar, Terry Huffer, who makes a drunken spectacle of himself one too many times for his famous sister, Emma Thompson, played by herself. He's sent to New Zealand to reconnect with his daughter - and out of Emma's way. Mark tells Jesse Mulligan the songs, books, movies and podcasts that excite him.
