An audio portrait of the writer whose comic stories and essays Frank Muir said were "as English as baked jam roll". Fellow humourist Miles Kington looks back at the life and work of H.F. Ellis, who died at the age of 93 in 2000. Richard Briers reads a chapter from Ellis's comedy classic A.J. Wentworth BA as well as extracts from his advice to the middle-aged "mediatrics", together with pieces for Punch and The New Yorker. The author himself recalls his long career as a humorous casual in conversations recorded in his 90th year.
