Makes you sick doesn't it? An all round nice guy, who's talented as well! This was a book that I did not want to put down and also one that made me grateful that I am a slow reader. ( )

A completely delightful memoir that will have you chuckling all the way through. A gifted raconteur, Muir had the ability to find the humour in anything.

Charming and occasionally laugh-out-loud life story by one half of the most successful radio & TV scriptwriting duo of 1950 - 1980 in Britain & Australia. But before he describes his memorable partnership with Denis Norden there is an interesting section on his childhood in Broadstairs and Leyton, not least because he went to a state school at which it was not accounted shameful to work and learn, followed by a period in the Royal Air Force in which his early interest in photography led to him leaning upside down out of a hole in the belly of an old bombing plane taking slow-motion pictures of parachutists exiting earthwards while another airman sat on his legs to prevent him following them without a parachute.
