From BBC Radio 4 Extra: Our Own Dear Queen Peter Tinniswood - Tales From a Long RoomSeries 1 Episode 1 of 5 Had Queen Victoria become a Test cricketer, would there still be a British Empire Robin Bailey reads the first of five stories from Peter Tinniswood's cricket tales. Abridged for radio by the author. Peter Tinniswood's cricket yarns are short, reflective, ruminations by the occasionally bewildered old man, called the Brigadier a military rank, perhaps, or just a British equivalent of the Americans' habit of addressing respected elderly men as Colonel for whom the world is utterly cricket - and very funny. The Brigadier is a long-time resident of the quaint little Saxon village Whitney Scrotum. However, you have to have a knowledge of cricket and of the long history of the game and of its heroes for this book to make any sense at all. Peter Tinniswood December 21, 1936 - January 9, 2003 was an English radio and TV comedy scriptwriter, and author of a series of popular cricketing novels. He was born in Liverpool, but grew up above a dry cleaner's on Eastway in Sale, Greater Manchester. 1964 saw Peter collaborate with long-term writing partner David Nobbs on the BBC comedy Lance At Large, starring Lance Percival. This was an innovative attempt to update the sitcom formula, as Percival's character Alan Day, was involved in different scenarios and meeting different people in each episode. The short-lived read more. Peter Tinniswood, who died on Thursday aged 66, was a versatile comic writer whose work took the form of novels, plays and radio dramas. His gritty North Country humour did not always appeal to sophisticated southern readers and playgoers, and critics periodically sniffed that he went over the top. The Brigadier made his appearance in Tales from a Long Room. Memorably played on stage by the late Willie Rushton, he fizzled with a rapid array of puns, verbal abuse and fantastic asides as he reflected on Queen Victoria's cricketing career, the MCC's match against the Pygmies in 1914, or the massive earthworks at Botham's Gut in the Far East. Peter Tinniswood, prolific scribe of plays for TV, radio and stage, died Jan. 9 of cancer in London. He was 66 and was diagnosed with oral cancer in 1995, then underwent surgery to have his larynx removed four years later. He was best known for Tales From a Long Room and its sequel, both series of stories about cricket, a lifelong passion of his, and the BBC sitcom I Didnt Know You Cared, the long-running show featuring the colorful Brandon family, including indomitable Uncle Mort, who like Tinniswood was a northerner who contracts cancer. He also worked on the classic Brit news satire pr. a Long Room series, 1980 More Tales from a Long Room series, 1982 A Gifted Adult and At the Grammar The Home Front series, 1983 South of the Border, 1985 Tinniswood's North Country, 1987 Uncle Mort's North Country series, 1987-88 Can You Hear Me, Mother, 1988 Tinniswood Country, 1989. Critical Studies: In New Review London, November 1974. Many of Tinniswood's novels are continuations of the same characters. The Brigadier is the acerbic narrator of Collected Tales from a Long Room, Tales from Witney Scrotum, and all of those works bearing his name. Titles by Peter Tinniswood. Tales from a Long Room.
