Jack of All Trades

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Peter Byrne, who played Dixon of Dock Green's second-in-command for 20 years, profiles his co-star and friend, Jack Warner. Though Warner is best known for playing the famously genial bobby, he was already a star by the time he first donned Dixon's helmet. Warner was a crowd-pleaser for over 60 years, spanning the worlds of variety, cinema, radio and TV. Bill Pertwee, Ray Alan and Dora Bryan are among those paying tribute.
