That Was The Week That Was (TW3)

After several others declined the role (including Peter Cook, John Bird, and Brian Redhead), he was chosen by writer and producer Ned Sherrin to compere a pioneering satirical programme called That Was The Week That Was. This caught the wave of the satire boom in 1960 Britain and became enormously popular as well as influential, although it often riled politicians.
