Surviving Spike Milligan: Mad Memories of Life with the Arch Goon - Hardcover
Me: Do you think you willed that plane to crash, Spike? Spike: Yes. Me: Are you claiming supernatural powers? Spike: No, I'm telling you what happened. On abandoning army life, John Antrobus arrived at Spike Milligan's office to discover a sign outside: 'Do not disturb, I'm already disturbed'. He soon found himself fighting on the Front Line of comedy with Arch Goon, Spike Milligan. In this extraordinary book he explores their mutual states of mind, of finance, of romance and of sanity. Surviving Spike Milligan is an hysterically funny evocation of those mad times with scenes you couldn't invent, a Picassoesque painting where the nose - or indeed, the Milligan - is not always where you would expect to find it!
