Twenty years after his death, this documentary celebrating the comedian's life and 40-year career in entertainment includes clips from his classic shows and previously unseen footage, from pilots and home movies to material from a live stand-up gig. The programme also looks at Howerd's extensive collection of correspondence, including exchanges with Laurence Olivier and Paul McCartney, and hears from famous fans such as Bruce Forsyth, Barry Cryer and Clive Anderson

Sounds intriguing!

    Sounds like a poor reason to make another show about a dead gay comedian with a bad rug..

    Just been watching The Kenneth Williams Story: A Reputations special, probably dovetail with this quite nicely.

    I've got it on now (it's on until 10 pm on Channel 4 +1 for anyone reading this just after it has finished on Channel 4).

    It's well worth watching. Don't miss it tomorrow if you didn't see it today or if you want to watch it again.

    Some of the content wasn't "lost" as I've seen it before, unless they meant they've "lost" it since.

    One can only wonder at what hidden gems/shockers lurk in stars cupboards, attics and garden sheds.
