John Lloyd

John Lloyd is a British comedy legend. He started at BBC Radio in 1974 and for 17 years hosted Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity. In the 1980s, Lloyd helped define a generation of British comedy, creating landmark television series including Not The Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder and Spitting Image. He had the original idea for Rowan Atkinson’s Mr. Bean and directed the Grammy-winning “Land of Confusion” music video for Genesis. He has writing credits on more than 30 books, including the first series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Oddly enough, he has won more BAFTA awards than anyone in the world except Dame Judi Dench.
