Comic Roots....

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Three films in which comic stars dig up the roots of their humour. 1: Les Dawson 's Lanes
Pawnbrokers, poverty, policemen and boxers-these are a few of Les's Collyhurst memories. But it was a Manchester community which stuck together and lives on in the minds of those who have left it to the ravages of the developers.
Lancashire mill folk and Black-pool landladies are also a fertile source of fun for Les-so they feature in this amble around the people and places of his past. with Roy Barraclough
Film editor DON CANDLIN
Producer PETER LEE-WRIGHT
