Archived show

This show is from a previous year's festival

Mark the BBC’s centenary in style with the retired children’s TV pioneer’s alternative look at the rise and plateau of the corporation.

Peter staggers bewildered through cherished, scandalous and fabricated memories, re-enacting classic clips from the archive and taking every opportunity to set the record crooked.

As seen on BBC Two and heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra

“The show I enjoyed most last year” Stewart Lee, Ten Years of the Machynlleth Comedy Festival (BBC Radio Wales, May 2020)

“Wonderfully silly and fast-paced… realised with skill, fondness and detail” Chortle

“Like a lost Fast Show character” Beyond the Joke

Restoration Levy – £1.50 of the advertised on-sale ticket price goes to Machynlleth Comedy Festival for the continued development and improvement of the event.
