Omnibus presents: Max Remembers

BBC One
on BBC One London

[Starring] Ronald Fraser
A tribute by Max Beerbohm to those who fell for Art
An entertainment written by John Stevenson to celebrate the anniversary of Max Beerbohm's birth in 1872. It is based on his stories, and is set in the make-believe world of the Zuleika Dobson Memorial Theatre at Penge. There, some time in the 1940s, Max - 'the incomparable Max' as Bernard Shaw called him - attended a dress rehearsal for television of a Renaissance horror story, supped with the Devil, and found himself playing the Fool.
