Arthur Smith talking comedy

Arthur is a long established comedian, presenter and writer. Starting on the comedy in the 1980s he has continued to entertain audiences with his dry humour. He currently narrates the BBC programme Money for Nothing and appears on various sitcoms, radio shows and of course was one of the stars of the brilliant Grumpy Old Men. He has also been a West End playwright (his plays include An Evening with Gary Lineker).

In this episode of the East London Radio The Complaining Cow Consumer Show, consumer rights expert Helen Dewdney talks to Arthur about his comedy career, performing in Walthamstow, broadcasting, writing, memorable moments from his career and what continues to inspire him.
