Harry Secombe (1921–2001)

This book and author reminded me of Tom Sharpe in so many ways! It was a joy to read and I enjoyed every minute! Just the book if you are looking for some light comic relief.

the scripts are good but the rest is disappointing: I'm not sure what I expected from this book, but it disappointed me regardless. It contains about three goon show scripts which are, as you would expect, excellent. But the rest of book felt like padding to me. It has a lot of black-and-white photos which I didn't find desperately interesting. It has a lot of correspondance amongst the Goons which may have historical significance but it all seemed much of a muchness to me and not that show more funny. I guess I expected a historical account of the Goons ... The book would have far less than 3 stars, it's the scripts that raised the mark. show less
