Can't wait to get stuck into the audiobook. British comedy in 70s - watching with my Dad, all the Perry and Croft stuff, Dick Emery etc etc. Ben and his generation took a different turn and it blew us away. You couldn't wait for episodes of Blackadder, Young Ones and Man From Auntie. It was gold born of utter genius and chutzpah. How we laughed!! Love to Ben and Gyles. ❤️🔥

I loved this about when Ben met Rik & Ade. He speaks so fondly about his memory of them. What a time that must have been! I also loved the chat about his creativity and the process of working with others. 🙌🎭
