John Lloyd: It’s A Funny Old Life

John Lloyd in conversation with The Very Reverend Nicholas Papadopulos

Veteran producer John Lloyd’s extraordinary career in television and radio comedy ranges from Radio 4’s Quote…Unquote, The News Quiz, and The Museum of Curiosity to many of television’s biggest hits: Not the Nine O’clock News, Blackadder, Spitting Image and QI. He’s a writer too, with the first series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and over 30 books to his credit. He’ll reflect on his unique creative record and his life-long mission to find humour in the deepest truths of the world around us.

You will be invited to submit questions over the interval, for a Q&A to end the event.

An evening with the UK’s peerless Professor of Ignorance (Southampton Solent University) can only leave you some the wiser…
