Martin Freeman and Rob Delaney unveil BBC DJ roles

47-year-old master actor now confronts the lifetime challenge of DJ-ing

Tim from The Office would be impressed – Martin Freeman has signed up as a BBC DJ.

The Sherlock star will be on air on 6 Music from mid-July, filling in for Elbow’s Guy Garvey.

Catastrophe actor Rob Delaney will also enjoy a stint playing “powerful rhythms” on the Sunday afternoon slot.

Freeman, 47, who shot to fame as an “under-achiever” still living with his parents and working in a “pointless” job in mockumentary The Office almost 20 years ago,  will host the 2pm to 4pm show from July.

Head of BBC 6 Music Paul Rodgers said: “Rob Delaney and Martin Freeman are both fantastic talents, so I’m delighted they will be joining 6 Music, where they can bring their love of music to our Sunday afternoons.

Delaney will be on air from June 9 to July 7, with Freeman presenting from July 14 to August 4. The shows will also be available on BBC Sounds.
