Archive on 4 - Satire Special

Satire - The Great British Tradition. Roger Law, co-creator of Spitting Image, looks at what the archives can teach us about the evolution of British satire. Do we really have more of a taste for it than other nations, and where did it all start? He traces the development of British satire on television, using examples from the BBC archives. Roger revisits his early days at Peter Cook's Establishment Club and talks to Gerald Scarfe and others who helped form the satirical approach of the 1960s.
