1/2. To commemorate the 70th birthday of Woody Allen , David Baddiel presents this two-parter about the stand-up career of the lauded film-maker. Allen's early work as a writer for many of the great American comics encouraged him to perform his own comedy routines at venues like The Blue Angel in New York and, later, on the Las Vegas circuit. Along with many comedic moments from classic Woody Allen monologues, the programme also features exclusive interviews with US comedy giants Sid Caesar , Carl Reiner and Larry Gelbart. Producer Stephen Garner
