A documentary revealing the private life behind one of Britain's most loved comedians for the first time is set to be screened in Malvern.

'The Real Ken Dodd, The Man I Loved' - a film looking behind the scenes at one of Britain's favourite comics - will be introduced by his wife, Lady Anne Dodd.

A product of four years' work, the never-before-seen footage features home videos, stage performances and extracts from thousands of Dodd's diary notebooks.

A post-screening Q&A will follow.

Malvern Theatres will host the screening on Saturday, August 3, at 2pm.
