Spike & Co: Inside the House of Fun with Milligan, Sykes, Galton & Simpson by Graham McCann |
This book is full of 'Well I never knew that!' moments. For example I never realised how important Eric Sykes was to post-war comedy. I never knew he and Spike Milligan set up Associated London Scripts together and I never realised that apart from discovering new writers like Johnny Speight, almost every significant 60s radio or television comedy show was part of their output. I do now though and a fascinating story it is too.
