Great Lives: Sophie Scott on Hattie Jacques

Hattie Jacques began her career in music hall before graduating onto the radio comedies of the 1950s such as Educating Archie, It's That Man Again and Hancock's Half -Hour, where she became a star. TV and films followed, most notably the role of Eric Sykes' sister in Sykes and the stern but lovelorn matron, headmistress or housekeeper in the Carry On films. Neuroscientist Sophie Scott and Hattie Jacques biographer Andy Merriman reflect on her life, career and infamous unconventional marital arrangements. Presented by Matthew Parris
