Telling the story of British character comedy giant Dick Emery.

Telling the story of character comedy actor Dick Emery, who regularly pulled in audiences of millions before his death in 1983. Featuring exclusive interviews and unseen footage.

For 17 years, The Dick Emery Show dominated Saturday night TV. Regularly pulling in audiences of 17 million, Dick Emery became one of the giants of British character comedy, until his untimely death in 1983, aged 67. Firmly rooted in the traditions of the concert party and vaudeville, his characters and their catchphrases were legendary.

In this programme, his influence is acknowledged by current comedians such as David Walliams, Charlie Higson and David Baddiel. With previously unseen footage and contributions from his family, contemporaries and those he worked with, The Many Faces of Dick Emery takes a closer look at his career.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
