James Gilbert Deep Dive

As part of our look at early Last of the Summer Wine, we came across the name of James "Jimmy" Gilbert, who was a big cheese at the BBC for many years. He played a big part in the satire boom of the sixties, brought The Two Ronnies together, and commissioned some of your favourite sitcoms.

I found an in depth interview with him and listened to it all so you don't have to! But if you want to anyway, you can find it here:
