Count Arthur, aka Steve Delaney, is the star of Count Arthur’s Radio Show, which opened on Radio 4 to huge critical acclaim in 2005.  The sitcom follows a confused and muddled day in the life of one-time variety star Count Arthur Strong, who has delusions of grandeur, selective memory loss and a tendency to use malapropisms. It won the 2009 Sony Award for Best Radio Comedy. Its success led to the television version, aired on BBC 2 in summer 2013. A second television series has been commissioned for BBC2 in late 2015.
