Ian McMillan pays tribute to one of television’s longest running sitcoms. With Bill Owen and Kathy Staff. From August 2010.
Ian McMillan pays tribute to TV’s longest running sitcom “Last of the Summer Wine”, which drew to a close in August 2010. In its heyday, the adventures of senior citizens Compo, Foggy and Clegg drew audiences of 19 million. It would be hard to argue that the series is anything but a British classic, which seemed immortal. The lyrical adventures of three bungling, elderly oddballs charmed viewers of all generations for over a third of a century – and this programme charts the show’s unbelievable success. The show was pioneering in many ways, one of which was the decision to have and ultimately set the trend for a double-length Christmas special. Featuring exclusive interviews with major cast members, plus archive recordings of the late Bill Owen and Kathy Staff who turned the character of battleaxe Nora Batty into a treasured national icon. And we delve behind the scenes with writer Roy Clarke and producer/director Alan JW Bell, who offer fascinating insights into the show’s journey from script to screen. Cast members pay tribute to Ronnie Hazelhurst’s theme music, and Ian McMillan calls to mind his own favourite characters in the series. Why did the series survive so long, surprising critics, audiences, and even the BBC itself, which has often been accused of underestimating its importance? Producer Stephen Garner.
First broadcast on Radio 4, in August 2010.

Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em – A Celebration of a Comedy Classic: “Ooh Betty”, it’s a celebration of the hit TV comedy. With Michael Crawford, Michele Dotrice and Raymond Allen. From 2015.
“Ooh Betty!” it’s a celebration of the BBC’s hit TV comedy about the disaster-prone lives of hapless Frank Spencer and his long-suffering wife Betty. Created by Raymond Allen, it ran for 22 episodes over three series from 1973-78, starring Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice – spawning a host of catchphrases and impersonators. In this behind-the-scenes documentary, scriptwriter Ray Allen reveals his difficulty in getting the show commissioned – and how Michael Crawford wasn’t the first choice to play Frank. The show’s legendary daring stunts were co-ordinated by Stuart Fell, who admits it was “ambitious for the BBC” at the time. Michele Dotrice recalls how filming on the edge of a cliff was “a bit hairy”, and reveals her mother’s reaction when the stunt hit the TV screens. Classic clips and rare archive appearances are interwoven amongst fresh and in-depth interviews in this celebration of the comedy classic. Presented and produced by Richard Latto.
First heard on BBC Radio Solent, in 2015.

NB: Repeated because today is the 50th Anniversary of the 1st broadcast, on 15 Feb 1973!

When an attractive exchange teacher from France arrives, the headmaster is forced to act. Written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden. Adapted by David Climie. Producer Edward Taylor.
Starting life on TV before transferring to radio, Chiselbury School is run “for the sons of gentlefolk”. The Headmaster, Professor James Edwards MA, never misses a trick when it comes to exploiting the students and their parents. Sports pitches are given over to growing vegetables, which the boys nurture for the Head to sell. Classes never exceed 95 pupils — 50 if private tuition is paid for at five guineas extra. It’s only thanks to the efforts of the devoted deputy head, Mr Pettigrew, that the school exists at all.

When faced with a financial shortfall, Professor Jimmy Edwards’ plans are scuppered unless he can find a wife. Written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden. Adapted for radio by David Climie. Producer Edward Taylor.
Starting life on TV, Chiselbury School is run “for the sons of gentlefolk”. The Headmaster, Professor James Edwards MA, never misses a trick when it comes to exploiting the students and their parents. Sports pitches are given over to growing vegetables, which the boys nurture for the Head to sell. Classes never exceed 95 pupils — 50 if private tuition is paid for at five guineas extra. It’s only thanks to the efforts of the devoted deputy head, Mr Pettigrew, that the school exists at all.

Starting life on TV, Chiselbury School is run “for the sons of gentlefolk”.

Professor Jimmy Edwards hatches an elaborate plan to win a cash prize in a school popularity contest. Written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden. Adapted for radio by David Climie. Producer Edward Taylor.
Starting life on TV, Chiselbury School is run “for the sons of gentlefolk”. The Headmaster, Professor James Edwards MA, never misses a trick when it comes to exploiting the students and their parents. Sports pitches are given over to growing vegetables, which the boys nurture for the Head to sell. Classes never exceed 95 pupils — 50 if private tuition is paid for at five guineas extra. It’s only thanks to the efforts of the devoted deputy head, Mr Pettigrew, that the school exists at all.

Another chance to hear Barry Humphries discussing his life, work, influences and characters. With rare performances, interviews and shows from the BBC archives. Written and presented by Australian writer Kathy Lette.
Another chance to hear Kathy Lette’s celebration of Barry Humphries. An interesting, inspiring, true creative comedian, treasured for his outrageous characters, acerbic wit and sharp tongue, Humphries collaborated with some of the most revered creative minds of the 20th Century.
The man himself is a considered intellectual with a life immersed in music, literature and arts. For his delivery of Dadaist and absurdist humour to millions, biographer Anne Pender described Humphries as not only “the most significant theatrical figure of our time … [but] the most significant comedian to emerge since Charlie Chaplin”.
In this three hour compilation, self-styled deranged author Kathy Lette chats to Barry Humphries about his relationship with Sir Les Patterson, Sandy Stone and Dame Edna Everage. Kathy introduces rare performances, interviews, and programmes from the BBC archive:
* Barry and Edna’s appearances on “Front Row”, “In Tune”, “Profile”, and “Nightwave”.
* Early performances alongside Spike Milligan.
* A discussion of working with Emily Perry, who played Dame Edna’s bridesmaid Madge.
* Interviews with Dame Edna shortly after her escape from Mooney Ponds.
There’s also a look at the people and things that have influenced Humphries’ work and life:
* His passion for literature is discussed in “Open Book”.
* His passion for the decadent world of art, music and satire is delved into in “Barry Humphries in Weimar”.
Producer Laura Baron.
Made for Radio 4 Extra and first broadcast in June 2015.

Now Andy shares his political memoirs, from being escorted from the playground in 1963 for singing a rude song about the Profumo affair, through encounters with Jim Callaghan, although he won’t be talking about Brexit because life is too short. Using comic observation and personal anecdotes he examines how much (or how little) things have changed over his 60ish years. It’s Andy’s thoughtful social history, but packed with laughs. Producer Claire Jones.

Paul O’Grady Stands Up for Liverpool – 3 Hour Special
PID : https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01n1102

Liverpudlian Paul O’Grady celebrates Merseyside’s funny men and women including Arthur Askey, Kenny Everett, Ken Dodd, Alexei Sayle, Patricia Routledge and John Bishop.
Paul O’Grady celebrates some of Merseyside’s funniest Scouse men and women: Arthur Askey, Rob Wilton, Tommy Handley, Kenny Everett, Ken Dodd, Jimmy Tarbuck, Alexei Sayle, Patricia Routledge and John Bishop. Producer Elizabeth Clark.
Made for Radio 4 Extra by BBC Scotland, and first broadcast in September 2012.

* Big-hearted Arthur Askey was born in Liverpool in 1900 and went on to front “Band Waggon”, the first regular BBC radio comedy series. Russell Davies introduces an episode of “TURNS OF THE CENTURY” profiling the man who coined the famous phase “Ay-Thang-You.”

* Rob Wilton’s was a different catch-phrase, but like Arthur Askey, his comedy entertained millions during the war years, kicking off with those immortal words “The Day War Broke Out”. Mark Radcliffe tells Rob’s story in an episode of “HOW TICKLED AM I?”

* “ITMA”, or “IT’S THAT MAN AGAIN”, was the radio home of Tommy Handley, a comedian who was struck down in his prime, bringing to an end one of the most popular radio comedy series the BBC has ever known. And sticking with comedy catchphrases, it was Tommy who first started using the acronym TTFN – long before instant messaging and text speak!

* Ken Dodd loves a catch phrase too, and he loves his tickling stick. Find out what happened when he chatted to fellow Liverpudlian funny-man Ricky Tomlinson in “WHEN DODDY MET RICKY”.

* As radio revolutionaries go, they don’t get much more radical than Kenny Everett. Well known on both commercial and BBC national radio, Paul focuses on his time at Radio Merseyside in “KENNY EVERETT: THE LOCAL RADIO YEARS”.

* Jimmy Tarbuck tells “DESERT ISLAND DISCS” presenter Sue Lawley how he got his start in comedy.

* Barry Cryer profiles a bit on an imposter to the programme – Patricia Routledge. As Paul O’Grady is quick to point out, Patricia hails from Birkenhead rather than Liverpool, but she’s very welcome. The star of “Keeping Up Appearances” became best known for being the lady of the house at the notorious Bucket Residence.

* And finally, current star John Bishop chats to “DESERT ISLAND DISCS” Kirsty Young about the career change that took him from salesman to stand-up.

Starting life on TV, Chiselbury School is run “for the sons of gentlefolk”.

It’s only thanks to the efforts of the devoted deputy head, Mr Pettigrew, that the school exists at all.

Series 9 Episode 4 (of 6): Meeting the Family. Will Victoria get more than she bargained for when Emily brings her new boyfriend home? Stars Angela Thorne. From January 2003.
Will Victoria get more than she bargained for when Emily brings her new boyfriend home? Simon Brett’s sitcom about the lives and squabbles of three very different sisters. Music by Elizabeth Parker. Written and produced by Simon Brett.
First broadcast on Radio 4, in January 2003.

Anna …….. Rosemary Leach
Victoria …. Angela Thorne
Charlotte … Felicity Montagu
Emily ……. Lisa Coleman
Paula ……. Natalie Casey
Jonathan …. Michael Jayston

NB: As ever, the weird sisters are busy being weird; but still not a funny show,
no laughs. Amusing, but no actual laughs.

The main “joke” this week is that Bill Nighy (Roger) is *supposedly* in it,
but has no actual dialogue, and so is not *actually* in it.

NB: This episode, like the previous episode, is quite heavy with the lovely
Lisa Coleman from ‘Old Dog’. She brings her ‘boyfriend’ home to meet
her mother (Angela Thorne, who was in ‘To The Manor Born’), without
disclosing that he’s a queer.

NB: The show is mostly about how weird the weird sisters can be. Barking mad,
mostly. Insanity runs in the family. Victoria is busy pretending that Roger,
her husband, has not left her and moved into the shed in the garden. Charlotte,
completely self-obsessed, is completely selfish. Anna’s role is to suffer
frustration in her new sexual relationship with Jonathan (Michael Jayston).
And all three sisters are insufferable nosey parkers, snooping into things
that don’t concern them (mostly, things about each other).

Sadly, only half of their adventures survive in the archives. But in 2006 the BBC began lovingly recreating them using original scripts and incidental music, recorded with vintage microphones and sound effects.

URL :

Part 1 (of 4): Origins. Section 1 (of 3): It’s That Man Again. Paul Jackson, Beryl Vertue, John Lloyd and Jimmy Mulville pick their top post-war comedic radio moments.
Instead of celebrity Comedy Controllers choosing their favourites, it’s the turn of those who, in their own ways, must take the blame for many of the shows heard on Radio 4 Extra. Between them, Paul Jackson, Beryl Vertue, John Lloyd and Jimmy Mulville have well over a 150 years of gut-busting, side-aching woofers, gags and the occasional horrific mistimed silence. In front of an audience in London’s Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House they reveal what they do, why they do it, and what makes them laugh.
In the first of three programmes, they look back to the wartime stars of Variety and the entertainers, men and women (though largely men) who entertained us through the dark days of conflict and the drab times of austerity and rationing.
Series producers Paul Kobrak and Dixi Stewart.
Made for Radio 4 Extra and first broadcast in March 2017.

Featuring:

* “ITMA” – It’s That Man Again (Victory Edition). Tommy Handley’s gang celebrate victory in Europe, as broadcast on 10th May 1945.

* Extracts from “Hi Gang”.

* Peter Sellers’ performance of “Balham, Gateway to the South”.

TV veterans Peter Fincham and Jon Plowman talk to the writers, producers, and performers behind Britain’s biggest TV comedy hits, and hear the inside story of how they brought their programmes to the screen. In this episode, John Lloyd and Sir Tony Robinson discuss the modern comedy masterpiece that is “Blackadder”.
The duo reveal the endless problems they had when making the first series (“the show that looked a million dollars and cost a million pounds”), and the importance of failure. They also open up about the tensions amongst the team, the “ladder of stupidity” in Blackadder’s world, and the real story behind that famous final scene.
With Peter and Jon as our guides, discover how the John and Tony went about making a great bit of TV comedy. Who came up with it? How did it get written? We’ll talk about the commissioning, the casting, and the reception the show received when it first aired.
We’ll do our very best to winkle out some backstage secrets straight from the horse’s mouth, as we hear the unvarnished truth from the people who were there, and who put these iconic shows on the telly.
Original Blackadder clips written by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton.

Seems Like a Nice Boy – The Story of Larry Grayson

Terry Wogan, Isla St Clair and Michael Grade recall one of Britain’s most popular entertainers. Presented by Jim Lee. From 2005.
Larry Grayson was one of Britain’s most popular entertainers. It could genuinely be said that fame, which he gained relatively late in life, did not change him one whit. He was devoted to his adopted home town of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, and lived there for most of his life. His early years were spent performing with a drag act in working men’s clubs all over the English Midlands. Then in 1971, he was seen performing as a stand-up comedian in London by Michael Grade, then an entertainments promoter. Grade offered Larry a 6-minute slot at the London Palladium, and the rest, as they say, is history.
In this profile of Larry, Jim Lee, Nuneaton-born and bred himself, recalls a comedian whose gently camp and inoffensive humour delighted audiences of all ages.
Michael Grade, Terry Wogan, Isla St Clair and Larry Grayson’s nephew and biographer Mike Malyon are amongst those interviewed. Producer Libby Cross.
Larry was born 100 years ago on 31st August 1923. He died aged 71 in 1995.
First broadcast on Radio 4, in January 2005.

NB: Broadcast on the Centenary of the birth (31/08/1923) of Larry Grayson

In the mid 1970s the broadcaster Paul Hollingdale, who died in 2017, spoke to Sid James for a series of interviews which were never aired in the UK.

Captain Jet Morgan and his crew aboard Discovery blast off for their epic mission to Mars – but there’s a problem. Charles Chilton’s 1954 classic set in 1971. Music composed and conducted by Van Phillips. Producer Charles Chilton.

NB: For historical reasons, David Kossoff is obliged to do an impersonation of
Alfie Bass in a cod-Jewish accent, as Lemmy Barnett. Alfie had played the
character in the previous serial (“Operation Luna”).

Alfie was Jewish. And Lemmy is a shortened form of the Hebrew name Lemuel.
So possibly the character was intended to be Jewish.

A Private Affair: The civil servants spark chaos as London’s new airport opens… in Scotland! Stars Deryck Guyler and Clive Dunn. From 1973.
The bumbling bureaucrats spark chaos as London’s new airport opens – in the north of Scotland! Starring Richard Murdoch and Deryck Guyler. Written by Edward Taylor and John Graham. Producer Edward Taylor.
A weekly tribute to all those who work in government departments, “The Men from the Ministry” ran for 14 series between 1962 and 1980.
First broadcast on Radio 4, in April 1973.

Lennox-Brown ……….. Deryck Guyler

Percy Hardstaff …….. Clive Dunn

NB: The 100th Episode. From 1973. Watch out for jokes about ‘Harold’ (Leader of
the Opposition, and former Prime Minister, Harold Wilson).

London’s third airport was being planned for real in 1973. The favoured site
was in Bedfordshire! That is not a joke: it really was the nearest they could
build it without upsetting London residents. But the plan upset many people
in Bedfordshire! The American wartime airfield at Thurleigh in Bedfordshire
was one of four sites shortlisted in 1968.

The airport proposal was shelved after the 1973 oil crisis, and plans for a
third airport were replaced by small-scale redevelopment of Stansted, a site
not on the short list.

Series 2 Episode 3 (of 4): Religion. Atheist choirboys, playing Satan, and which deity might be good at sport, as Andy ponders all things religion. From 2019.
More potentially misremembered anecdotes from Andy Hamilton. This time Andy considers Religion.
Andy has spent much of his working life making acute observations about politics and family life. From his early experiences as a choirboy through to his confirmation as a Church of England atheist. He shares fond memories of playing Satan in Radio 4’s long running sitcom “Old Harry’s Game”. Andy also muses on the enduring popularity of religion. And which deity might be best at sport.
Andy was born in Fulham in 1954, read English at Cambridge, and then in 1976 began writing comedy for BBC Radio, on programmes such as “Week Ending” and “The News Huddlines”. In 1990, he and Guy Jenkin created “Drop the Dead Donkey” for Channel 4. In 2007, again with Guy Jenkin, he created the massive TV hit “Outnumbered”, which celebrated the chaos of life with young children. More recently they created the highly topical “Ballot Monkeys” for Channel 4, which charted the absurdities of the General Election and then the EU Referendum.
For over 20 years he has been playing the part of Satan in his Radio 4 sitcom, “Old Harry’s Game”. Andy is also a popular panellist on shows such as “The News Quiz” and “Have I Got News For You”.
Producer Claire Jones.
A BBC Studios Production for Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2019.

Series 2 Episode 4 (of 4): Class. As a middle-class child of working-class parents, Andy considers class, recalling some bumps up against the system. From 2019.
More potentially misremembered anecdotes from Andy Hamilton. Andy concludes his series by considering class. As a middle-class child of working-class parents he recalls some of his bumps up against the class system at university and at work, and suggests comedy is a better mirror of class than drama ever has been.
Andy has spent much of his working life making acute observations about politics and family life. Andy was born in Fulham in 1954, read English at Cambridge, and then in 1976 began writing comedy for BBC Radio, on programmes such as “Week Ending” and “The News Huddlines”. In 1990, he and Guy Jenkin created “Drop the Dead Donkey” for Channel 4.
In 2007, again with Guy Jenkin, he created the massive TV hit “Outnumbered”, which celebrated the chaos of life with young children. More recently they created the highly topical “Ballot Monkeys” for Channel 4, which charted the absurdities of the General Election and then the EU Referendum.
For over 20 years he has been playing the part of Satan in his Radio 4 sitcom “Old Harry’s Game”. Andy is also a popular panellist on shows such as “The News Quiz” and “Have I Got News For You”.
Producer Claire Jones.
A BBC Studios production for Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2019.
