BBC Faces of COMEDY

9 July 2016 – 2 October 2016

About the
exhibition

In 2016, BBC Comedy marked 60 fabulous years of the TV sitcom – from Hancock’s Half Hour and Steptoe & Son to Only Fools & Horses, Absolutely Fabulous and Miranda…

To celebrate, BBC Faces of Comedy, a collection of rare images from the BBC’s Photographic Archive, was launched at Compton Verney.

This exhibition showed some of our best-loved comedians at work – behind the scenes, on set among the paraphernalia of cameras and microphones, in avid script discussion, or just enjoying a well-earned cuppa.

The show was curated by a group of the nation’s best loved contemporary sitcom stars, who selected their favourite images of the comedy greats who have personally inspired them.
