Gilbert and Sullivan
Actress Dillie Keane chooses the musical duo Gilbert and Sullivan. With Mike Leigh. Presented by Humphrey Carpenter. From 2004.
Actress and singer Dillie Keane nominates Gilbert and Sullivan.
Whilst few musicians divide people quite as much as the musical duo, Dillie is certain in her choice of them as examples of lives well led.
Dillie explains to Humphrey Carpenter why she's a life-long fan of their comic operettas: quite unlike those detractors who cringe at the mere mention of the Pirates of Penzance!
With guest expert, film director Mike Leigh.
Producer Mark Smalley
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in October 2004.
