Oh Goody! - An Audience with Tim Brooke-Taylor
Tim has been delighting audiences with his gentle, zany humour ever since he rocketed from the Cambridge Footlights into West End stardom trading custard pies with John Cleese and one-liners with Bill Oddie in the hugely successful Cambridge Circus revue. That was just the start of a sparkling career that has included BBC Radio's I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. Tim has also appeared in countless stage productions and written several books. His most memorable ?claim to fame' came with the popular TV series The Goodies with Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden. Brooke-Taylor, Garden, and Oddie also appeared on Top of the Pops with their song "Funky Gibbon". After the end of The Goodies on UK television, Brooke-Taylor also worked again with Garden and Oddie on the animated television comedy series Bananaman, in which Brooke-Taylor was the narrator, as well as voicing the characters of King Zorg of the Nurks, Eddie the Gent, Auntie and Appleman. Brooke-Taylor was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2011 Birthday Honours. An Audience With Tim Brooke-Taylor covers all these subjects and more with Tim in conversation with the broadcast journalist and former That's Life! co-presenter Chris Serle.
