Classical musician and comedian Rainer Hersch profiles entertainers who have combined comedy in serious music.
In the first programme he meets and talks to American satirist Peter Schickele about his unique brand of classical music humour. As well as an internationally recognised composer, Schickele's alter ego, a professor of musicology has been unearthing and performing the 'lost' works of one PDQ Bach for over 40 years.
