Denis Goodwin

Paul O'Grady presents the first in a series chronicling the career of Britain's most celebrated patter merchant. Having worked as a standup, cartoonist, gameshow host, stage performer and actor, there's a lot of Monkhouse to explore. Luckily, his habit of archiving his work provides enough material to fill an entire channel. There are tough times touched on, too, not least the tale of Bob's partnership with Denis Goodwin, making for a slicker than average comedy retrospective.
