by KEITH WATERHOUSE with and / have often seen reminiscences of people I have never heard of and I fail to see - because I do not happen to be a Somebody - why my diary should not be interesting.

But what is known of its authors George and Weedon Grossmith and why does a record of trivial suburban life in late-Victorian London remain fresh and funny today? Narrator Ned Sherrin
Producer ROSEMARY HART. Stereo
(Re-broadcast on Sunday at 10.15pm) (Judi Dench and Michael Williams are in 'Mr and Mrs Nobody'at the Garrick Theatre, London)
