Overview
- Si King, speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs on Sunday, said he felt a “sense of guilt” filming without his late co-presenter Dave Myers.
- He stepped away from television for about a year after Myers died in 2024, then returned with his first solo series, Channel 4’s Top of the Stops.
- He said the pair kept filming after Myers’ cancer diagnosis in 2022 because Myers wanted normal life and to “keep the wheels on.”
- King described how a workload of about 200 filming days a year pulled him from home life and contributed to his split from his ex-wife Jane.
- He called shooting solo an “odd” experience and said a long-standing crew helped him settle back into the rhythm of presenting.
