Musical Comedy Was My Dish 02-09-2008

PG Wodehouse wrote lyrics for hundreds of songs, which appeared in around 40 musical comedies. He worked with composers like Jerome Kern and Cole Porter, making an invaluable contribution to the development of musical comedy on Broadway and in the West End. Ben Elton explores this forgotten side of his literary hero. Producer Caroline Hughes

From The Radio Times

When Ben Elton was a youth his parents presented him with short stories by PG Wodehouse in an attempt to drive him away from comics and into literature. It worked. Elton never looked back and Wodehouse remains his literary hero. This biography borders upon the hagiographic - the man could obviously do no wrong in Elton's eyes, or anyone else's that he speaks to.
But it is very successful in capturing the spirit of the man. It focuses upon Wodehouse's 30-year career as a lyricist, working with a starry role-call of names that includes Kern, Porter and the Gershwin's. He could have been a terrible snob or an unbearable show-off. Instead he pinned his colours to the mast of musical theatre and declared that he'd rather have written Oklahoma! than Hamlet.
