There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Started conversation Mar 10, 2014
Some people have them, it's said. In other words, they're naturally funny. John Fortune was one such individual. This interview is pure gold and illustrates it so well, especially the story about the Shakespeare play around eight or nine minutes in http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03xgpxx
I don't see a 'N days left to listen' tag anywhere on the page so it might be one of those programmes the BBC leaves up indefinitely rather than deleting after a week.
Much missed. That generation of comedians associated with the 60s satire boom, and the writers/producers/directors associated with them, is thinning out, and the thinning can only accelerate from here. Johns Fortune and Wells are both gone, as are Pete and Dud, Roy Kinnear, Willie Rushton, Ned Sherrin and David Frost.
We're left with, among others and for the time being, Eleanor Bron, Richard Ingrams, John Bird, David Nobbs, Barry Humphries, Millicent Martin, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller.
I had no idea Millicent Martin was a Romford girl
