SAT Championed by everyone from the Beatles to Billy Connolly, SAT Ivor Cutler was a poet, humorist and absurdist whose SAT appearances on BBC radio and television span over 5 decades. SAT As well as producing a vast body of records, books and SAT plays, Ivor was a notable eccentric, often seen cycling SAT around London in plus fours, handing out homemade stickers SAT and badges to strangers. SAT To mark what would have been Ivor's 90th birthday, BBC Radio SAT 4 holds a 'party', to celebrate his life and BBC archive in SAT particular. Except a full house, with performers, fans, SAT collaborators and even his long-term partner, Phyllis King, SAT introducing their favourite poems, songs and memories of SAT Ivor. Weirdness from the archives, pleasure for fans, and a SAT singular introduction to those encountering him for the very SAT first time. SAT Highlights include Bramwell and King re-enacting a morse SAT code performance of "The Little Black Buzzer". SAT Presenter: David Bramwell is a writer, musician and, SAT recently, presenter of Sony Award winning "The Haunted SAT Moustache". He is the founder of the "Catalyst Club"; a SAT place for enthusiasts to speak on any subject close to their SAT heart. Ivor Cutler is a subject close to his, having kept SAT correspondence with him in the 1980's. SAT Producer: Sara Jane Hall.

SAT Plus new interviews with those who knew him well: theatre SAT critic Michael Coveney, friend and writing collaborator SAT Alistair Beaton, comedian and Loose Ender Arthur Smith and, SAT in a rare interview, actress and singer Millicent Martin. SAT Qualifying as a barrister, Ned was immediately diverted into SAT the fledgling TV industry. As producer and director he cut SAT his teeth first with ITV and then on Tonight, but it was SAT creating and producing BBC TV's satirical That Was the Week SAT That Was that earned him his reputation. SAT He proposed a programme that would be: "aware, pointed, SAT irreverent, fundamentally serious, intelligently witty, SAT outspoken in the proper sense of the word, and would provide SAT an opportunity for saying things worth saying and not SAT usually said on television." SAT Fronted by David Frost it became the must-see event of the SAT week, soon attracting audiences of over 12 million. SAT But it was the week the laughter stopped that brought TW3 to SAT a global audience. The programme transmitted the day after SAT President John F Kennedy's assassination was a sober, SAT immediate and poignant expression of the nation's mood. The SAT recording was flown overnight to the USA and shown there. It SAT made such an impact that a transcript was admitted into SAT Congressional records. SAT After that, Ned Sherrin's talent took him into film SAT production, performing on the stage and TV and theatrical SAT writing and directing, but it was radio he loved the most.

But their tranquil idyll is SAT shattered by the explosive arrival of Venus Traduces, SAT hell-bent on recapturing Vera's heart with a series of SAT appalling musical serenades.
