Biography
Graeme Garden, who trained as a doctor but never practised, has worked with Orson Welles and John Cleese.
In TV he is better known as 33.333% of 70s comedy sketch act The Goodies (with Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor), and as the longest-serving member and inventor of BBC Radio 4's quiz I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. This talent for improvisation was well used in the politically satirical panel game If I Ruled the World... In addition, he co-presented a popular 1980's health-related programme, "Body Matters", which presumably utilised his medical knowledge, to some extent at least.
Trivia
His son, John, sometimes plays at concerts for Scissor Sisters.
Garden appeared as a pompous university lecturer in a one-off BBC drama, "The Student Prince", which also starred Robson Green, Rupert Penry-Jones, Richard Briers and Stephen Moore.
He and the other two Goodies, along with Jill Shilling, provided the voices and narration for the BBC's 80's cartoon series 'Bananaman'.
