A celebration of the life and career of Sir Harry Secombe, one of Britain's best-loved entertainers.

Further details

Harry Secombe

Secombe ended his career as the face of Sunday evening TV, a far cry from his early days as a ground-breaking comedian who changed the comedy landscape along with Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers in The Goon Show. This affectionate tribute includes unseen personal footage from the family archive and revealing interviews with Harry's widow Myra, his four children and showbiz friends including Jimmy Tarbuck, Aled Jones and Simon Callow.
