The Betty Box and Peter Rogers Comedy Writing Programme is being tweaked to reflect feedback on our first year. It will return in Spring 2018.
As producers of the Doctor and Carry On film series respectively, as well as dozens of other films, Betty Box and Peter Rogers were giants of British film comedy.
In recognition of their success, they left a generous bequest to The Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, which among many other people and projects funds The Betty Box and Peter Rogers Comedy Writing Programme, a partnership between The CTBF, LOCO and Big Talk.
