Willoughby and the Professor is epic science-fiction fantasy comedy, in the Monty
Python/Terry Gilliam vein, about a boy and his professor who travel willy-nilly across
time and space in a failed attempt to ''cure the world of all its ills''. Produced,
directed, and voiced by Joe Bevilacqua, with David Garland and Margaret Juntwait,
written by Joe Bevilacqua and Robert J. Cirasa, theme music by David Garland, musical
numbers written by Joe Bevilacqua, performed by the Paul Salomone Trio with Paul on piano,
Ed Fuqua on bass, and Jim Mason on drums. Bevilacqua first created the characters after his
father bought him a Panasonic cassette recorder in 1971 when he was 12 years old.
The hour of radio theater also includes "The Crashed Martian," "The Hypersensor," "The Best
Robot," and Robot with a Malfunction" written by Pedro Pablo Sacristan and voice by Joe Bev
and Lorie Kellogg.
What the Critics Say
"Descendents of Laurel and Hardy and Holmes and Watson, among others, Willoughby and the
Professor bring radio listeners along on a series of adventures, often in exotic lands and
always in the more exotic land of the imagination. Judging from the hundreds of letters WNYC
Radio has received about 'Willoughby,' a couple of characters who can go anywhere in the world
while remaining inside the listener's radio and head is just the ticket." (David Hinckley,
New York Daily News)
"There's not a whole lot of comedy on radio these days. We chose to add 'Willoughby and the Professor'
to our Contemporary Radio Humor collection because it is unique. One person does all the voices.
Bevilacqua was a student of Daws Butler, a master of cartoon voices. It is a very interesting program."
(Ken Mueller, Radio Manager, The Museum of Television and Radio)
"13,000 Roaches in a Box. For most artists working in radio theatre, the projects tend to be group
efforts, with actors, a producer and director, writers, engineers, and sound effects personal.
But Joe Bevilacqua is producing a successful radio theatre series almost single-handedly. The great
part about radio theatre is you can portray 'any subject in any location in any circumstance, from
another part of the world to the past to another dimension. you can create a whole world unto itself'.
For example, in one episode, there was a box full of 13,000 roaches and, through a mishap, the box
exploded. Even in TV or film, Bevilacqua asks, how could you have 13,000 roaches raining down?"
(Amy Hersh, Backstage)
"'The Willoughby and the Professor' radio cartoon series... part of the 'Contemporary Radio Humor"
series at the Museum of Television and Radio, along with works of Stan Freberg, Bob and Ray and
other innovators. The globe-hopping adventures of Willoughby and his professorial companion aired
on WNYC Radio, produced by Joe Bevilacqua who also did all the voices..." (Paul D .Colford, New York Newsday)
The Prisoner is a 17-episode British television series first broadcast in the UK from 29 September
1967 to 1 February 1968. Starring and co-created by Patrick McGoohan, it combined spy fiction with
elements of science fiction, allegory, and psychological drama. The series follows a British former
secret agent who is held prisoner in a mysterious coastal village resort where his captors try to
find out why he abruptly resigned from his job. Although sold as a thriller in the mold of the previous
series starring McGoohan, Danger Man (1960-68), the show's combination of 1960s counter-cultural themes
and surreal setting had a far-reaching effect on science fiction/fantasy programming, and on popular
culture in general.
