BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Gerald Scarfe - bring back the news!

Gerald Scarfe meets Brian Cosgrove, the creator of Dangermouse and Penfold.

The Wind in the Willows, Count Duckula, The BFG and Dangermouse - Brian Cosgrove OBE talks to Gerald Scarfe about some of his amazing productions for children's television.

"When we're doing a show, we come up with a design, then sit down and talk about what the world is like. Next you bring in a writer, and then you get an actor in to voice the design, and the personality changes a little bit more." Brian Cosgrove talks to Gerald Scarfe about violence, children's tv, and the difference between the Cosgrove and the Scarfe way of seeing the world. A fascinating insight into two creative minds.

Brian Cosgrove OBE is a the BAFTA-winning director, producer and designer behind some of British television's favourite shows. Gerald Scarfe was a cartoonist at the Sunday Times for 50 years and worked with Pink Floyd on the design for The Wall.

The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
