Talking Sellers (with Mark Cousins)

This week Tyler chats to writer and comedy historian Mark Cousins about Peter Sellers and some of the lesser-known aspects of his career. Mark has neared completion of a sizeable Sellers chronology which has been years in the writing and he has advised on and contributed to several radio and television documentaries on the life of the former Goon. Sellers’ radio, television, film and stage work is all under discussion and during the course of the conversation such topics arise as Sellers on Sykes, the influence of Ted Ray, the Goons on vinyl, his friendship with Irene Handl, the ‘lost’ Peter Sellers shorts and, intriguingly, Dudley Moore as ‘The Ferret’!
