Groucho and Me

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Groucho Marx has influenced actor Michael Roberts's own life and career, and his bizarre family seemed to mirror the crazy antics of the Marx Brothers' films.
This influence has led Roberts to portray Groucho on stage in A Night in the Ukraine and on radio in three series of the hugely successful remake of the Marx Brothers' 1930s comedy Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel. This is Roberts' own perspective on the life and career of Groucho Marx, marking the 25th anniversary of his death with rare archive recordings and witticisms from his own rendition of Groucho.
