Welcome to EXPLAINIACS SIX! This time, we meet comedy writer, actor and author Bob Sinfield, who's been delivering laughter to our homes since the end of the 70s. He’s written scripts for some of Britain’s best-loved comedy performers – including Bob Monkhouse, Leslie Phillips, Tracey Ullman, Rory Bremner and Lenny Henry - and explains why the greatest characters of the comedy past can still help new acts to create brilliant material now, with a few simple writing tricks.

If you have a fabulous, passionate and fascinating Explainiac in your life, we'd love to hear from you. Simply get in touch at Explainiacs.com - and we could be meeting them next time!
