Richard Sherman
As Cameron Mackintosh's latest musical production "Mary Poppins" previews at the Prince Edward Theatre in London, Mark Lawson talks to Richard Sherman - who with his brother Robert, wrote the music and lyrics of all the songs for the original 1964 film, thus beginning 10 years as the lyrical voice of Walt Disney films including "Jungle Book", "The Aristocats", and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks". They also wrote words and music for musicals - like "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and screenplays for films starting with Tom Sawyer and "Hucklberry Finn".
