Timothy Birdsall

Timothy Birdsall

Timothy Birdsall (born 1936, died June 1963) was an English cartoonist from Eastbourne, who appeared on the BBC’s first satirical programme "That Was The Week That Was". He was shown behind a glass panel improvising drawings on it with an ink-marker. He also contributed to Private Eye and The Spectator and had a two-year stint at The Sunday Times. He died of leukaemia, aged 26, after the first "TWTWTW" series, in June 1963, and was much lamented: the BBC made a tribute programme.
