Press clippings

Just when you thought that every cobwebbed vault had been scoured for unseen footage of one of our greatest comedians, along comes Victor Lewis-Smith with an ingeniously assembled programme. Rare newsreel abounds but many of the best finds are cleverly animated audio recordings, with the show employing lip-readers to match silent home-movie footage of Goon Show rehearsals. Continues Wednesday with Kenneth Williams, then Thursday with Tony Hancock.
