VOLUME FIVE OF SPIKE MILLIGAN'S LEGENDARY MEMOIRS IS A HILARIOUS,
SUBVERSIVE FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT OF WW2 'The Godfather of Alternative
Comedy' Eddie Izzard ______________ 'Back to those haunting days in
Italy in 1944, at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, with lava running in
great red rivulets down the slope towards us, and Jock taking a
drag on his cigarette and saying, "I think we've got grounds for a
rent rebate."' Where Have All the Bullets Gone? sees our hero
dispatched from the front line to psychiatric hospital and from
there to a rehabilitation camp. Considered loony (and 'unfit to be
killed in combat by either side'), he becomes embroiled in his own
private battle with melancholy. But it is music, wit and a little
help from his friends - including one Gunner Harry Secombe - that
help carry him through to his first stage appearances . . .
______________ 'Desperately funny, vivid, vulgar' Sunday Times
'Milligan is the Great God to all of us' John Cleese 'That
absolutely glorious way of looking at things differently. A great
man' Stephen Fry
