The Dick Emery Show (1974)

Concept and creative process

Dick Emery starred in his own comedy sketch show, with special guests. The titles for this show began with the programme logo build-up and a zoom into the ‘O’ of ‘SHOW’, which became a decorative vignette for a sequence of still photographs of Dick Emery in the guise of some of his many comedic character roles. The sequence was filmed entirely on a rostrum camera and ended with a colour still of the comedian wearing the show T-shirt.
