Review of Independent Minds: Peter Sellers


A brilliant piece of work all together. Great use of clips, terrific writing, wonderful interviews. Everything that should be here is in here and things that might have been missed have been hauled out of the pantry. We need more of this kind of thing -- programs of "a life" have been relegated to that peculiar circle of hell known as the Biography Channel. Awful things they are too. With "Independent Minds: Peter Sellers," the good people at Murray Street have reinvented a genre of radio -- we can only wait with impatience to hear what they will do next.

By way of note: check out the 60s sound in musical drops -- Herb Alpert in real stereo. Worth hearing on headsets.
