Edward George Sherrin CBE (18 February 1931 – 1 October 2007) was an English broadcaster, author and stage director. He qualified as a barrister and then worked in independent television before joining the BBC . He appeared in a variety of radio and television satirical shows and theatre shows, some of which he also directed and produced.
Early life
[ edit ]
Sherrin was born at Gawlers Farm, Low Ham , Somerset , the second son of smallholding [1] farmer Thomas Adam Sherrin (1889–1965) and Dorothy Finch (née Drewett; 1895–1980).[2] He was educated at Sexey's School , in Bruton , Somerset,[3] [4] and rendered his national service in the Royal Signals ,[5] being commissioned as an officer in 1950.[6]
Although he read law at Exeter College, Oxford , and subsequently qualified as a barrister (called to the bar by Gray's Inn ),[2] [7] he became involved in theatre at Oxford and joined British television in 1956 shortly after the founding of independent television, producing shows for ATV in Birmingham.
Career
[ edit ]
Sherrin joined the BBC in 1957 as a temporary production assistant, then began working for them as a producer in Television Talks in 1963.[8] Specialising in satirical shows, he worked extensively in film production and television.
In 1962, Sherrin was responsible for the first satirical television series That Was The Week That Was [9] starring David Frost and Millicent Martin , and its successors Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life and BBC-3 . In 1990 he was a contestant on Cluedo , facing off against Thelma Barlow . His other shows and films included Up Pompeii! , Up the Front , The Cobblers of Umbridge , World in Ferment , and The Virgin Soldiers . In 1978, he also hosted We Interrupt This Week , a lively and humorous news events quiz featuring two teams of well-known journalists and columnists sparring against one another. The show was a production of WNET/Channel 13 New York.
Sherrin produced and directed many theatre productions in London's West End , including Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell and the musical revue Side by Side by Sondheim . He received an Olivier Award in 1984 for directing and conceiving The Ratepayers' Iolanthe , an adaptation by Sherrin and Alistair Beaton of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Iolanthe .[10] Sherrin played the part of Addison in the film Orlando released in 1992.
On BBC Radio 4 , from 1986, Sherrin presented a light entertainment show on Saturday mornings (latterly evenings) called Loose Ends ,[11] [12] and Counterpoint , a quiz show about all types of music, until forced off the air when his voice succumbed to throat cancer.
Sherrin also toured the UK with his one-man show An Evening of Theatrical Anecdotes .[11]
Sherrin wrote two volumes of autobiography , several books of quotations and anecdotes, as well as some fiction; and several works in collaboration with Caryl Brahms .
Personal life
[ edit ]
Openly gay, Sherrin was a patron of the London Gay Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Stephen Sondheim Society of Singapore up until 1995.[13] [14] [15] He was awarded a CBE in the 1997 New Year Honours .[16] [17] He was diagnosed with unilateral vocal cord paralysis in January 2007; this diagnosis was later changed to one of throat cancer ,[18] from which he died on 1 October 2007, aged 76.[19]
