SURVIVING SPIKE MILLIGAN by John Antrobus
Comedy writer John Antrobus takes the reader on a magical mystery tour around the mind of Spike Milligan. Enter a world of words, written absurdities and crazy conversations. Abandoning army life, Antrobus arrives at Milligan's office where a sign reads 'Do not disturb, I'm disturbed enough already!' They went on to write several Goon shows together, the surreal comedy play The Bedsitting Room, and many TV sketches. Comrades together, John and Spike produced laughter for the world and John continues that tradition gloriously within these pages. This book is an hysterically funny evocation of mad times with scenes you could never invent.
John Antrobus has written exclusively for the stage, screen, television and radio. In autumn 2002 the BBC released the cassette of the radio series that John wrote for Spike, in fact Spike's last radio series, The Milligan Papers.
