1. Comedy

Cultural icon Dr John Cooper Clarke gets Complete Control of 4 Extra, to select his favourite comedy programmes from the BBC radio archives.

The first of three parts, featuring:

* John's hero Bob Hope performing stand-up in 1956

* A nod to the radio variety acts John grew up listening to, including Vic Oliver and Al Read

* A celebration of the pioneering radio DJ Jack Jackson

Jump aboard a radio road-trip travelling all the way from childhood favourites to recent pleasures, with laughs, thrills and chills along the way.

Don't worry though, he is a Doctor and he will be in Complete Control.

Producer: Luke Doran
