Peter Tinniswood |
| |
Earlier this year, the novelist and playwright Peter Tinniswood, one of Radio Drama's best-loved and innovative practitioners, died after a long illness.
Peter had created some brilliant larger-than-life characters in his prose writings, such as his dotty cricket-loving Brigadier from Witney Scrotum and the gloriously gloomy Uncle Mort, both of whom went on to achieve radio immortality.
He was also widely known and respected for the many fine original radio plays he wrote, which attracted some of the starriest names in the British acting world including Judi Dench, Peter Vaughan, Penelope Wilton, Paul Scofield and Emma Fielding.
91热爆 7 and Radio 4 join together to pay tribute to the life and work of one of our best loved radio comedy and drama writers.
