Press clippings
Comic Roots (BBC1) is a new short series about the background of comedians. As nobody knows what comedy is, you can only hope to pounce on it sideways when it isn't watching. Are you likelier to end up as a comedian, if you began life as a child in Collyhurst?
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 3rd August 1982
