A Goodie Comes To Darlo
An Audience With
Tim Brooke-Taylor
Darlington Civic Theatre
Monday 23 June at
7.30pm
Best known as one third of TV comedy trio "The Goodies", Tim
has been delighting audiences with his gentle, zany humour ever since joining
the famous Cambridge Footlights back in the early 1960s.
As a student performer he appeared alongside the likes of Bill Oddie,
Graeme Garden, John Cleese, Graham
Chapman, Eric Idle and Jonathan Lynn touring
extensively with the Cambridge Circus Revue, before moving into television,
where his credits include" On The Braden Beat", "The Frost
Programme" (as editor), "At Last the 1948 Show" and "Me and
My Girl".
Now a regular panellist on the ever-popular radio shows, "I'm Sorry
I Haven't A Clue" and "Just A Minute", Tim will be at the Tivoli
in conversation with broadcaster Chris Serle, best known for his work as a
reporter on "That’s Life" with Esther Rantzen, sharing anecdotes and
film clips from a career spanning over 50 years.
Tim has also
appeared in countless stage productions and written several books.
His most memorable
‘claim to fame’ came with the popular TV series The Goodies with Bill Oddie and
Graeme Garden. Brooke-Taylor, Garden, and Oddie also
appeared on Top of the Pops with their song "Funky Gibbon".
After the end of The Goodies on UK television, Brooke-Taylor also
worked again with Garden and Oddie on the animated
television comedy series Bananaman, in which Brooke-Taylor was the narrator, as
well as voicing the characters of King Zorg of the Nurks, Eddie the Gent,
Auntie and Appleman.
Brooke-Taylor was
appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2011 Birthday
Honours.
An Audience With
Tim Brooke-Taylor covers all these subjects and more with Tim in conversation
with the broadcast journalist and former That’s Life! co-presenter Chris
Serle.
