A Bit of Carry On

About

Darling Buds of May’ actor, Tyler Butterworth, tells the funny, moving and unashamedly nostalgic untold story of his much-loved parents, who lived locally, the nation’s first female TV impressionist Janet Brown, and the inimitable star of the ‘Carry On’ films Peter Butterworth.

The talk covers heroic wartime escapades at POW camp Stalag Luft 111, to a night at Chequers with Mrs Thatcher. This is a warm and uplifting journey from wartime to showtime, delving deep into the golden age of British TV & film comedy – it’s a chance to hear about two of British comedy’s brightest stars, who lived to make us laugh.
