The first of a new series, featuring the life and times of six famous artists who have been on the entertainment scene for as long as any of us can remember, and are still working.

Perhaps you can't remember when you first heard the catch-phrase 'Can you hear me mother?'. But you know who says it. Very few people can remember a time when Sandy Powell wasn't part of Britain's comic furniture.

Tonight he recounts just some of the best parts of his 60 years in, show business. Recorded at the Southport Theatre.
