The private story behind the lecturer's parents’ public lives.

Tyler Butterworth grew up in a theatrical family and is probably best known for his work in the TV series "The Darling Buds of May”. Here, he relates the untold account of his parents: the nation’s first female TV impressionist, Janet Brown, best known for her impressions of Mrs Thatcher, and the inimitable Carry On star Peter Butterworth who appeared in 16 of the films. "A Bit of a Carry On!” is a personal and uplifting journey, taking us from the heroic wartime escapades of the Great Escape, to nights at Chequers with Mrs Thatcher, and beyond into the much loved world of classic British comedy. With film and television clips of his parents’ work, unseen photographs and behind the scenes anecdotes, Tyler reveals the funny and yet moving story of his theatrical  parents. 

THE ARTS SOCIETY ACCREDITED LECTURER

Mr Tyler Butterworth

Tyler Butterworth grew up in a theatrical family and spent twenty five years as an actor working extensively in film, television, theatre and radio. He then worked as a development producer in television documentaries and was closely involved with NASA on a landmark commemorative tv series. Now, he produces walking audio guides to cities across Europe for private clients on whatever subject he’s commissioned to do. They’re just like the audio guides you get in art galleries and museums but they’re out on the street. He lives in Sussex where he walks on the South Downs and the South Coast.
