This is the story of how a golden age of British comedy was launched in the most unlikely setting - above a greengrocers in West London. On any weekday morning, if you dared to clamber over the crates of fruit and veg, climb the five flights up the rickety staircase and creep inside the entrance to Associated London Scripts, you would find Spike Milligan, Eric Sykes, Ray Galton & Alan Simpson shaping the latest shows, swapping the odd story and searching for another funny line.
Together this eclectic bunch in their bizarre office was responsible for classic shows such as;
Hancock's Half Hour, The Goons, The Frankie Howerd Show, Steptoe and Son, Till Death Us Do Part, Sykes, Round the Horne, That Was The Week That Was and many more!
This entertaining and extremely interesting book tells the story of how this partnership came about and how it shaped the comedy of the 50's and 60's, and still influences TV shows today.
