Satire and the Sixties

on BBC Radio 2

John Bird presents a series that celebrates the comedy revolution started by Peter Cook , Dudley Moore ,
Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller , whose Beyond the Fringe review at the 1960 Edinburgh Festival set the stage for modern satire. This final part recalls their impact on Broadway, in Soho and, most significantly, on British TV in the form of That Was the Week That Was.
