Description
From “Ab Fab” to “Yes Minister”, “Monty Python” to “The Full Monty” and Laurel and Hardy to Billy Connolly, British comedy comes in all shapes and forms and has thrown out the most memorable characters, both fictional and genuine, of any country in the world. Journalists, writers, actors and comedians have taken it upon themselves to tell us exactly how and why these people who, intending only to cause laughter, become institutions instead. Starting from the humble beginnings of April Fools’ Day to the mass laugh-in that is Comic Relief, “British Comedy Greats” celebrates the history, diversity and genius of the Brits who have made the whole world laugh.
