The Fully Authorised History of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: The Clue Bible from Footlights to Mornington CrescentRADIO. 'It's a great missing piece of the jigsaw - people go on endlessly about Python and Peter Cook, which is all well and good but there's basically this great corpus of work stretching for decades - and consistently good...A major piece of work, and universally loved'. So says John Lloyd, brains behind "Blackadder", "QI", "Spitting Image", and so much besides - all shows with a massive debt to "I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again" and "I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue". Together they form a body of work stretching across five decades, from Cambridge in 1960 to today's world-beating "Antidote" to "Panel Games", a laughter-bringer which has inspired unparalleled adoration in millions over fifty series. This book tells the whole story, from Footlights to Broadway to the ferret-filled madness of Radio Prune - comedy's answer to the rock & roll revolution of the sixties. |
