Forty years ago, at the 1960 Edinburgh Festival, four young men walked on to a stage and produced a flow of staggeringly inspired comic genius. In Beyond the Fringe, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Jonathan Miller and Alan Bennett created a satirical revue which amazed the critics and the public, selling out night after night.
Soon the satire virus spread: The Establishment Club, 'London's first satirical nightclub', opened its doors in Soho; a scruffy yellow pamphlet calling itself Private Eye became available in certain London coffee bars. Eventually even the BBC woke up to the fact that comedy was changing, and inaugurated the satirical Saturday night television programme That Was the Week That Was. For a few months everyone wanted to be a satirist.
Carpenter has talked to the people involved, including Alan Bennett, Jonathan Miller, Ned Sherrin, Richard Ingrams and the late John Wells. He has woven their stories together with a wealth of comic material - including sketches from Beyond the Fringe which never made it to London, much of the hilarity from That Was The Week That Was, and fascinating stuff from the BBC archives - to create a narrative which brings vibrantly alive this key period of British life.

Ideal for sublimation beginners.
Size: 8.5"x11"
Asub sublimation paper has been excellent for my projects. The ink transfer is very good, the colors are vibrant and defined, and it dries quickly. It has helped me achieve clean and professional results, even as a beginner. Without a doubt, it's a reliable, high-quality paper for sublimation.

Works
Size: 8.5"x11"
Works great for sublimation. Get plenty of sheets. Great value for the price. The paper is pretty thick and seems to hold a good amount of ink without smearing.
