Description
Ben Clover underwent a post-pandemic transformation so complete that friends walked past him in the street — and has since been applying that same sharp eye to Utopia, Deadwood, Life on Mars, and the unsettling legacy of Top of the Pops presenters.
Ben Clover is an award-winning stand-up comedian, writer, and performer based in London, with multiple Edinburgh Fringe appearances and writing credits across TV, radio, and print media.
- How Life on Mars might have landed differently in a post-Operation Yewtree world
- The unsettling legacy of Top of the Pops presenters — and the discomfort of revisiting something you loved
- The strange hypnotic pull of the BBC test card — and what it represents about a particular kind of television memory
