The original album had a third groove so that when you played the More >

Anyway where was I? Oh yes the shopaholic. Well One day a friend of mine (female) said she had this book I should read and handed me a copy of Shopaholic and Baby. Now if you’ve seen the cover of Shopaholic and Baby, or for More >

Tommy Cooper: Hilarious Magical Moments
Tommy Cooper may not have been the most likable person of stage, he was infamous for his bad drinking habits and pathological meanness, but onstage he was as unique as they come and a legend in his owntime. Whether he was a comic pretending to be a magician or vice versa is still debatable and for you to judge. Here are some examples of what made him a great comedian,if not a great magician.

The Goon show is probably the most famous, popular and idiotic radio show ever to hit the air. The combined talent of Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe can’t be beaten and was a major influence for comedy to come such as I’m sorry I’ll Read that Again, Monty Python, Soap and The Museum of Everything. Milligan did most of the writing and regularly played the parts of Eccles, Minnie and the devious Moriarty, Sellers was Bluebottle, Henry Crun, Major Bllodnok, Hercules Grytpype Thynne and of course Secombe was Neddie Seagoon. One of the most popular running jokes More >
