The Life and Times of Sir Noël Coward
A series in 13 parts
In the 1960s, regardless of evil portents, prophetic despair and a great deal too much writing on the wall, I managed to write one or two fairly cheerful musical comedies.
This 12th programme traces Sir Noel's career from Sail Away through the 1960s, which ended with what he himself called the Noel Coward Renaissance.
