Spike Milligan: The Unseen Archive
FACTUAL 9PM, SKY ARTS, NOW
Spike Milligan died 20 years ago, but the spirit of the wild man of comedy lives on in the recently unearthed archive that’s the backbone of this documentary presented by Al Murray. Featuring everything from an unpublished play and home movies to jottings on scraps of paper, it’s an intriguing insight into the mind of someone once voted the funniest man of the last 1,000 years (an honour that would surely have made Spike snort). ★★★ SM
