Peter Sellers is a much-missed comic genius and hero. A considerable quantity of previously unknown or "lost" material was located by Radio Light Entertainment and brought together in a 4x30
minute archive documentary for BBC Radio 4. Presented by Phill Jupitus, the series takes a chronological form with previously unavailable archives from the earliest parts of his career. The
program also includes interviews with Sir Harry Secombe, Shirley Maclaine, Michael Palin, and Richard Lester, as well as a variety of private recordings, which add to the understanding of
Sellers' colorful life -- including an improvised performance with Mel Brooks. Extensive BBC radio and television archive material of Sellers help to tell his life story, which will appeal to
new and old fans alike.
