In 1964 Alan Price was a member of the Newcastle pop group The Animals. Now he has become one of Britain's most sought-after singer/composers. Recently he won the Anthony Asquith Memorial Award for his film music for "O Lucky Man!"

In Germany they were known as Dick and Dorf; in Italy, Crick and Crok; in Poland, Flip and Flap. Churchill loved their films; so did Stalin. They are the eternal Fat and the Thin, the Fiddle and the Bow. Today their films are perhaps more popular than ever before. What makes their humour tick? What kind of human beings were they? Tonight's Omnibus celebrates Stan and Ollie-Laurel and Hardy: their innocence, their dumbness, their zany logic - and the working companionship of two gentle men. With extracts from a great many of their vintage comedies; some rare film; and contributions from Jerry Lewis , Marcel Marceau Spike Milligan , Bob Monkhouse Dilys Powell , Hal Roach Kenneth Tynan , Dick Van Dyke and many others.
