'There are very few things I've discovered now, at this very old age, very few things in this world which you can't laugh off if you have a sense of humour.'
Ben Travers is 92 this month. In this second of two programmes he talks with Peter King about how farce should be played and how Tom Walls gave up the police and prostitutes to become a famous farceur. He talks about Victorian England, religion and how he views death. He wants them to put on his tombstone. 'This is where the real fun starts'.
