On the Margin was a
British
satirical
comedy sketch show written and
performed by Alan Bennett and a regular
cast including John
Sergeant, Virginia Stride,
Madge Hindle and Yvonne Gilan. Guest performers included
John Fortune and
Jonathan Miller.
The show also featured
songs and poems by John Betjeman and
Philip
Larkin
.
It was directed by
Sydney Lotterby,
produced by
Patrick Garland and was
broadcast between 9 November and 14 December 1966 on
BBC 2. It was repeated twice in 1967, but the tapes
were wiped in the 1970s so the main surviving evidence of the
series are the scripts. However, a compilation CD of audio extracts
was released in 2009.
