THE CURSE OF COMEDY
UK / BBC Four / April 2008
Producer: Ben Evans
Four individual feature length period dramas that focused on the personal lives of five very well known TV personalities from the 1960's and 70's.
The dramas focused on Tony Hancock, Harry H. Corbett and Wilfred Brambell (in particular focusing on Steptoe and Son), Frankie Howerd and Hughie Green. The quartet were all very well made but no doubt took a certain amount of poetic license with certain scenes.
