EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant era of the 1950s in London. Standing proudly beside Cleopatra's Needle on the Embankment, three iconic figures from BBC fame - Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe, and Spike Milligan - strike a pose that exudes both charm and mischief. Dressed in their distinctive costumes, these talented comedians embarked on a memorable trip to gather material for their renowned radio program "The Reason Why". Their mission? To uncover the fascinating story behind the discovery of Cleopatra's Needle. Little did they know that their findings would later be transformed into an engaging 30-minute radio show. From left to right, we see Peter Sellers with his charismatic smile radiating through his dapper attire. Next to him stands Harry Secombe, whose infectious humor is evident even in this still moment captured by Dean.

This photograph not only captures a significant moment in entertainment history but also showcases the camaraderie shared between these comedic geniuses. It serves as a timeless reminder of how laughter can bring people together and create lasting memories that transcend generations.
