Stanley Baxter Biography: The Man Behind the Mask by Brian Beacom – Luath Press

Sad to see that Stanley Baxter has left us. His autobiography is a brilliant, touching, heartbreaking read.

It also has some of the best chapter titles of any book I have seen (examples being ‘Poofter Hell’ and ‘David Niven’s Blow Job’)

Looks like a party version of a KLM safety demo.

Which, for the record, I'm not against.

THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT

Yes this also includes social media

Who’d have thought Prick Bastardly and his skidmark party would’ve ended up making a total Horlicks of things.

People complain about the January gym goers- well it’s December and I’d like to know what you’re all doing in our pubs.

English Smocks, by (nominative determinism, sort of?) Alice Armes, featuring a photo of a farmer in a nice smock.

So many books, so little time.

Lew Grade wouldn’t have stood for this. I’d have a Friday evening game show gig by now.

MUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLHHEEEERRRRRRRRRRN!

This only works if the skull of St Thomas Aquinas is wisecracking all the way to Fossanova Abbey, little flappy jaw and all.

It's 106 miles to Fossanova, we have a full tank of gas, half a packet of communion wafers, it's dark and I'm wearing a cassock... HIT IT!

Sorry but….former BBC employee…..films salvaged from BBC Enterprises in Villiers House in the 1970s…..I mean….my word.

You know that episode of "The Prisoner" where Number Two gets a special Appreciation Day, but it's an assassination attempt and his medal's got a bomb in it? I'm just saying, maybe FIFA know what they're doing.

Good evening theatregoers of London
