Brendan Behan

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

He took the world on a spree - and died of it.
Was Brendan Behan just an alcoholic with a gift of the gab? Or was he a great writer ruined by drink? His life has been described as a hilarious tragedy. Tonight's film examines his true promise and traces that rumbustious life to its sadly inevitable end, with Donal Neligan as Brendan Behan and interviews and commentary by Daniel Farson.
