Summary:
Career highlights from one of the country’s funniest satirists and humor men. Willie Rushton’s career spanned decades, through the cutting edge satire of television’s ‘That Was The Week That Was’ to the razor-sharp punnery and verbal wizardry of Radio’s ‘I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue’. Actor, article writer, lyricist and veteran satirist, that is Rushton at his magical best – in ‘The Blowing wind in the Willows’ and ‘Gulliver’s Moves’, with Roy Plomley on ‘Desert Island Discs’, reading ‘Winnie the Pooh’ and slogging it from ‘Trivia Check Match’. ‘Remembering… Willie Rushton’ features performances by Barry Cryer, Kenny Everett, Brian Johnston, Humphrey Lyttelton, Sue MacGregor and Ned Sherrin. With tunes, sketches and traditional clips, this is a perfect family portrait of one from the warmest and funniest humorists of our period. This recording was previously released as ‘Willie Rushton at the Beeb’.
