To celebrate the 70th birthday of Woody Allen, comedian David Baddiel presents a short series about the early stand-up career of the legendary film-maker.
We discover how Allen's early work as a writer for many of the great American comics encouraged him to perform his own comedy routines at venues like The Blue Angel in New York and later on the Las Vegas circuit.
Along with many comedic moments from classic Woody Allen monologues, the programme also features exclusive interviews with US comedy legends Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner and Larry Gelbart.
