Footlights!

on BBC One London

100 Years of Comedy
If it weren't for the Cambridge Footlights, John Cleese would have become a lawyer, Bill Oddie a teacher, Graeme Garden and Jonathan Miller would by now be just doctors and David Frost would be plain D. P. Frost. There might have been no Beyond the Fringe, That Was the Week That Was, Monty Python , The Goodies or Not the Nine O'Clock News.
Chris Serle celebrates the centenary of Britain's oldest and most influential University Revue Club, with the help of Peter Cook, John Cleese, David Frost, Jonathan Miller, Graeme Garden, Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Richard Murdoch, Lord Killanin, Jimmy Edwards, Richard Baker, Germaine Greer, Miriam Margolyes, Richard Stilgoe, Frederic Raphael, Griff Rhys Jones
