O'Rourke, Victoria Wood, Bill Bryson, Douglas Adams, Roseanne Barr, Ian Hislop, and Julie Burchill.Ned Sherrin is presenter of BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends. Producer and director of the ground-breaking 1960s satire TV show That Was the Week that Was, and producer of a number of films, including The Virgin Soldiers (1968) and Up Pompeii (1971), he has also written extensively for stage and screen. He
