Review: Answers about John Woodby (1910-1970)

on BBC Two England

Introduced by James Mossman

John Woodby is not a name known to the British public, and yet he made a profound impression on a number of distinguished men and women. Following his death last year, we interviewed six very different people who had reason to know him well:

John Betjeman, Elizabeth Bowen, Peter Cook, Irene Handl, V.S. Naipaul and Peter Porter. Tonight you can see the unusually candid portrait which emerged.
