In 1961, Beyond The Fringe not only transformed the style of British comedy, lighting the fuse of the satire boom, it also fired a broadside at The Establishment and sent a blast of fresh air through the fusty corridors of power.
Before The Beatles made the 60s swing, the Fab Four of comedy, Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller and Dudley Moore opened the door to social change through their iconic comedy. This drama takes listeners behind the scenes, examining what made Beyond The Fringe so significant.
