Frankie Howerd, Tommy Cooper, Arthur Askey, Morecambe and Wise, Chris Addison, Lee Mack, Angus Deayton, Rowan Atkinson, Arthur Lowe and Nerys Hughes are a few of the comedians and actors appearing in this book. There are also thousands of lesser-known performers including many long-forgotten variety stars of yesteryear in this book. They all appear in a huge array of shows that Kaleidoscope have listed in incredible detail to please any trivia buff or ardent researcher. These shows include Dad’s Army, The Likely Lads, Please Sir! , Man About the House*emphasized text* and *Sykes* which sit side by side with the obscure *Don’t Tell Father, The Walrus and the Carpenter* and *The Gordon Peters Show*. Casts, producers, directors, writers, musicians – if they appeared in British comedy shows, they are in this book. Look for Ridley Scott, Roy Clarke, Johnnie Mortimer, Colin Bostock-Smith, Geoff Atkinson, Richard Curtis and all the other famous names of the past. This book is a must-have for anybody interested in British comedy. It’s also the only book to comprehensively list untransmitted comedy pilots.
