The long awaited story of one of Britain's greatest comic legends.
'Some people walk on stage and the audience warms to them. You
can't explain it, and you shouldn't try. It's an arrogant
assumption to say you 'decide' to become a comedian. The audience
decides for you.' Eric Sykes, December 2001 From his early days
writing scripts for Bill Fraser and Frankie Howerd through decades
of British radio and television comedy - 'Educating Archie', 'Sykes
And A ...', 'Curry and Chips', 'The Plank' - to his present day
ventures into film and theatre, starring in 'The Others' with
Nicole Kidman and appearing in Peter Hall's recent production of
'As You Like It', Eric Sykes has carved himself an enduring place
as one of Britain's greatest writers and performers. In his much
anticipated autobiography, Sykes reveals his extraordinary life
working alongside a generation of legendary comedians and
entertainers, despite being dogged by deafness and eventually
virtual blindness. His hearing problems began in the early days of
his career in the 1950s, around the time he wrote, directed and
performed in the spoof pantomime 'Pantomania' for the BBC.
Undeterred however, Sykes learned to lip-read, going on to write
and appear in a number of BBC productions including 'Opening Night'
and Val Parnell's 'Saturday Spectacular', the first of two shows he
made with Peter Sellers, a great life-long friend. From 1959 until
her death in 1980, Syke's starred with Hattie Jacques in one of
Britain's best loved sitcoms 'Sykes and A ...' Throughout the two
decade run of this show he continued to work alongside a host of
stars including Charlie Drake, Tommy Cooper, Tony Hancock, Spike
Milligan, Johnny Speight, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. Eric Sykes's
comedy has always sported an essential core of warm humanity and
this, along with his genuine creative genius, continues to prove an
unforgettably winning combination.
