This talk is in part a continuation of a previous one on the BBC. Our teacher and resident historian, Simon Handy, will respond to questions about the use of humour on the BBC during WW1 and WW2.
The talk focuses on the development of humour, both official and unofficial, through WW1 and the impact on WW2 comedy.
It will finish with a look at the post WW2 comedy landscape.
What are "Talks in English"?
Our "Talks in English" series is organized as part of our Teaching Centre activities and is open to all free of charge, upon registration and within the limits of available places.
We offer monthly Talks in English on different themes, given by our teachers and external speakers. Information about the upcoming events will be available on our website and social media networks.
We also offer refreshments at the end of the conference to allow participants to practice their English
