It's 50 years since Percy Edwards, that uncanny imitator of birds and other animals, began the broadcasts that have made him something of a national figure. Mimic and raconteur, he calls himself a naturalist entertainer. He played the Windmill Theatre in 1932; toured the music-halls for years and has shared the bill with famous artists like George Robey, Max Miller and Charles Coburn.
Tonight he talks about his long career, and describes the background to his bizarre specialism.
Recorded at the Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds
