Episodes
Bruce Forsyth
A dancer, singer, actor and consummate game show host with perfect comic timing, Bruce first appeared on screen as an 11-year-old in 1939, the decade the BBC began broadcasting. Once established on the box in the 50s, he has very rarely been off it.
Michael McIntyre
Documentary charting the meteoric rise of Michael McIntyre over the past decade, from his childhood to the most popular stand-up comedian in Britain today. Includes tributes from top comics.
Miranda Hart
Documentary about the life and career of the reigning queen of British comedy, from her roots in live stand-up to award-winning sitcom writer, and serious dramatic actor. Miranda reinvented slapstick for the 21st Century – but it's the warmth within the performances that's won her millions of fans since she burst onto our screens in the Noughties.
Paul O'Grady
The unique career of a razor-witted entertainer who found fame as two people – first his drag queen alter ego, Lily Savage, and then as himself. After teenage traumas in Birkenhead, Paul immersed himself in the London gay scene, becoming a rising star in TV. He then reinvented himself in the new millenium, hosting award-winning chat shows and travelogues.
Barbara Windsor
Mel & Sue
Documentary about the lives and careers of Britain's favourite female double act, famed for their beautifully pitched, raised-eyebrow humour, cheeky innuendo, and a clear, banter-filled warmth for each other, which audiences can sense comes from years of genuine friendship.
