Comedian and script-writer Rory McGrath joins entertainer Brian Conley to look back at the classic archive TV that helped shape him into one of Britain's funniest men.
What was life like in the McGrath household as he grew up in rural Cornwall, and what inspirational television programmes helped set him on his future career path? Will Rory's on-the-spot audition for the role of Doctor Who be a success? And who will win in Brian's version of Ask the Family as the Conley takes on the McGrath? Brian will find out all these things and more as Rory and he settle down on the sofa to take a nostalgic look back at Rory's childhood telly choices.
Comedy has always played an important part in his life - with early inspiration coming from The Telegoons and the legendary Frankie Howerd - but how did he end up writing for his comedy hero in his very first job? And how did the unique talents of Bob Blackman, the forgotten tale of Cyrus the Seahorse and the wanderings of the Doctor all help him on his own journey onto the small screen?
