Amongst his popular comedy works include ‘Cambridge Circus’ and ‘A Clump of Plinths’. John grabbed a great deal of attention due to these shows, eventually bagging a BBC radio series called ‘Im Sorry I’ll Read that Again’. Having made a considerable name in the industry, John began his next writing venture ‘The Frost Report’ alongside friend Chapman and future partners of the ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ comic series.
