ARTHUR
SMITH:

If your main experience of Arthur Smith comes from his appearances
among the armchair wits and sworn enemies of thought that make up the
cast
of BBC2's Grumpy Old Men, you might get the impression that he's now

In fact, away from the small screen, Smith stands out among his generation

forms of comedic expression. This show offers audiences another chance
to see why today's hottest young comics still see him as an inspiration.
