Rebecca and Jeremy Front continue their journey through the archives, showcasing Dame Cicely Leyland's acting highlights as she approaches 100. With Barry Cryer and John Wilson.
Meet the living legend, actress Dame Cicely Leyland as she approaches her 100th birthday! All this week Rebecca Front and Jeremy Front bring you a fun-packed retrospective of her life on stage, TV and the big screen. From her roots in Variety, through her early radio comedy days, to appearances in the Beatles film 'Gear!' And more recently in Harry Potter.
But there's one card Cicely is playing close to her chest as her big birthday approaches. Will Jeremy Front uncover it in time?
In today's programme Barry Cryer explains that after her great success with ENSA as Aunty Mabel, Cissy was suddenly faced with an acting drought. But before long she took a different turn and was appearing in some of the British Film industry's popular movies - both comedy and horror. John Wilson is enthusiastic on the topic, until things in studio turn awkward.
