Milligan’s war memoirs are truly brilliant. You get a better idea of the reality of WW2 through them than from all the learned academic tomes that have been produced highly recommended
What hurt bob & the series was that critics thought he was his usual persona of being smarmy & insincere but he interviewed tommy cooper & bob hope & his other heroes, & was no more suck up than american talk show hosts today.
I've heard this story 3 or more times, on different shows, but still love it and Spike himself
