From Vicar's Son to BBC Producer
Charles Garland
Show moreCharles has delivered this personal story about his eclectic life across the
country. It is delivered with a light touch, and is full of humour. From life in the
Vicarage, and behind the scenes in the parish church, to a diverse career as a
dancer in a musical, clarinet player in a military band, singer/guitarist and
organist in hotels and clubs, cabaret artist and restaurateur in London’s
Belgravia, until he joined the BBC as Sir Jonathan Miller’s assistant. He then
rose from making the tea on Hi-De-Hi! to becoming producer (eventually) of
David Croft’s last TV comedy series, Oh Doctor Beeching! and series editor of
Dad’s Army.
