  • Tim Brooke-Taylor Very Brief TIM Was Born in Buxton, Derbyshire
    Tim Brooke-Taylor Very Brief TIM was born in Buxton, Derbyshire. His father was a solicitor, his mother a Lacrosse International and his maternal grandfather, a parson who played centre forward for England in the 1890’s. At Cambridge, as a result of a promise he made to the Derbyshire Education Committee, he joined the Footlights Club and became president. His colleagues included John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie. Tim is probably best known as one of ‘the Goodies’ and he has just returned from Australia where the goodies did a sell-out tour. He has been part of the radio programme ‘I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue’ since the beginning in 1972. He is a passionate supporter of Derby County. Tim Brooke-Taylor Not so brief TIM was born in Buxton, Derbyshire. His father was a solicitor, his mother a Lacrosse International and his maternal grandfather, a parson who played centre forward for England in the 1890’s. After a bad educational start - he was expelled from his first school at the age of five and a half - he went to various schools in Buxton and then on to Winchester College. Before going to Cambridge he taught at two private schools - one in Hemel Hempstead and the other, one of his old schools in Buxton, Holm Leigh - but only subjects he knew very little about. In 1960 he began an Economics and Law degree course at Pembroke College, Cambridge and, as a result of a promise he made to the Derbyshire Education Committee in return for a grant, he joined the Footlights Revue Club.

Top left – right: Opening title for At Last the 1948 Show; Marty Feldman and John Cleese in The Bookshop Sketch; an exciting climax to a crime-caper detective sketch Mice Laugh Softly Charlotte; Graham Chapman and Tim Brooke-Taylor see a sheep dog go out of control For immediate release: Wednesday 15 September 2015 BFI ANNOUNCES RE-DISCOVERY OF PRE-PYTHON CLASSIC TV SERIES ‘AT LAST THE 1948 SHOW’ Radio Times Festival will be the first chance to see British comedy programme since original broadcast 48 years ago Following the BFI’s rediscovery of two episodes of the much-loved and highly influential comedy series, At Last the 1948 Show last year a member of the public has come forward with a further two episodes starring John Cleese, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Marty Feldman, Graham Chapman, Bill Oddie, Eric Idle and “the lovely” Aimi Macdonald. On eof the discoveries - Episode 3, of the first series of At Last the 1948 Show (tx. 1/3/1967) will be screened at the Radio Times Festival at Hampton Court on 25 September. The programme features a legendary sketch which John Cleese considers one of his best, The Bookshop; Cleese plays an exasperated shop owner dealing with the increasingly surreal requests for books by a very demanding Marty Feldman (Copperfield with one ‘p’). At Last the 1948 Show is a landmark in British television comedy. The extraordinary early flowering of its surreal, British humour led to the creation by some of the same team of the Monty Python programmes two years later.

    Annotation "'Stephen Fry is one of the great originals… This autobiography of his first twenty years is a pleasure to read, mixing outrageous acts with sensible opinions in bewildering confusion… That so much outward charm, self-awareness and intellect should exist alongside behaviour that threatened to ruin the lives of innocent victims, noble parents and Fry himself, gives the book a tragic grandeur and lifts it to classic status.' Financial Times; 'A remarkable, perhaps even unique, exercise in autobiography… that aroma of authenticity that is the point of all great autobiographies; of which this, I rather think, is one' Evening Standard; 'He writes superbly about his family, about his homosexuality, about the agonies of childhood… some of his bursts of simile take the breath away… his most satisfying and appealing book so far' Observer" Stephen Fry MOAB IS MY WASHPOT For You The Book of D., Verse 10, Chapter 11 To live is to war with trolls in heart and soul.

  • Providence Bagel: Best Thing Since Sliced Bread,Locale Profile
    Food Truck Profile: Presto Strange-O coffee Presto Strange-O coffee truck Rhode Island’s gotta have it: Whether it’s at home, at work or any one of the hundreds of shops around the state, coffee is one of the state’s top obsessions. If you’re one of those people who say “Don’t talk to me in the morning until I have my coffee,” then do we have the food truck for you. Unique even among its cuisine mobiles, Presto Strange-O brews a mean cup of joe that ranks with the best of them, not for the Dunkin Donuts faint of heart. Presto Strange-O is the love child of Jessica and Jason Case, the owners and operators. They’re two native Rhode Islanders with a big love for a cup of mud. Jason had more than ten years experience in the coffee industry and was looking to open his own shop. He and Jessica met while both were working in the film and television industry, and they both decided to partner up and go for it. “Another great thing about a truck,” they wrote over email. “Is the ability to go where people are, instead of having to wait for them to come to you.” Presto Strange-O coffee truck You’ve probably seen the steel-and-black-colored truck zipping around with a proud Rhode Island anchor logo emblazoned on the door. Presto maintains a pretty full schedule May to September, where they can found at weekly events such as the Providence Flea (every Sunday 10am-4pm, 345 South Water St) and Food Truck Sunday at Hot Club (575 South Water St).

  • Notable Burials
    NOTABLE BURIALS at ST ANDREW'S CHURCH ALFRISTON BARON DENIS HEALEY - grand old man of British politics Denis Winston Healey, Baron Healey CH, MBE, PC, FRSL (1917-2015) was a British Labour Party politician who served as Secretary of State for Defence from 1964 to 1970, Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1974 to 1979, and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party from 1980 to 1983. He was a MP (Member of Parliament) for 40 years (from 1952 until his retirement in 1992) and was the last surviving member of the cabinet formed by Harold Wilson after the Labour Party's victory in the 1964 general election. A major figure in the party, he was twice defeated in bids for the party leadership. Denis was born in Mottingham, Kent but moved to Yorkshire aged five. His middle name was in honour of Winston Churchill, which was prophetic because he was to become one of the best-known and important political figures of the post-War period. One of two siblings, his father was an engineer who worked his way up from humble origins. However, Denis, possessing a powerful intellect won an exhibition to Balliol College, Oxford, in 1936. Here he became involved in Labour politics, and for three years joined the Communist Party (as many young men did in the 1930s). It was also here that he met Edward Heath, who became a lifelong friend and political rival. In the Second World War he served as a gunner with the Royal Artillery, seeing action in the North Africa and Italian campaigns, and most notably was the Beachmaster during the Anzio landings.
