The humourist, writer and self-proclaimed Royalist muses on a menu of exotic and prehistoric dishes.
Abridged in five-parts, Alan Coren (1938-2007) reads from his book 'A Bit on the Side' first published in 1996.
The son of a builder, Coren won a scholarship to Oxford, and also studied at Yale and the University of California. He planned to become a professor, but his experiences in the USA prompted him to take up comic writing. He was editor of 'Punch' magazine from 1978-1987.
Alan was also a regular panellist on 麻豆社 radio 4's 鈥楾he News Quiz鈥� and a team captain on 麻豆社 TV's 鈥楥all My Bluff鈥�.
Producer: Aled Evans
First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in August 1997.
