Viewpoint: Alas! Poor Yorick

on BBC One London

A cameo of Laurence Sterne

"We have lived, shag, rag and bobtail, a most jolly nonsensical life of it."
The 18th-century parson, eccentric and humorist whose behaviour and writings shocked his contemporaries, but whose books Tristram Shandy and Sentimental Journey had a notable influence on the English novel.
Filmed at Shandy Hall, Coxwold by permission of the Laurence Sterne Trust
with Allan Cuthbertson as Sterne
