When British comedy stalwart Geoffrey Perkins died suddenly in 2008 aged 55, he left behind a legacy of programmes that few can equal.

He was involved in ground-breaking TV productions like Spitting Image, Father Ted and The Fast Show. He also kick-started the careers of the likes of Ben Elton and Harry Enfield.

However, Perkins' roots were in radio.

His friend and colleague Angus Deayton presents this 3 hour tribute to the producer, writer and performer:
