More Kenneth Williams' Stop Messing About

Join Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick and Joan Sims as they go beyond Round the Horne. Taking over the mantle of Round the Horne, Stop Messing About carried on the comedy tradition, which reunited Kenneth Williams with both Hugh Paddick and Kenneth's Carry On co-star, Joan Sims. These four episodes include such favourites as crusty old judge Sir Inigo Parchmutter, Crackerjackanory With Mother, more visits to Tolpurgis Hall, as well as a couple who bear a bona similarity to Julian and Sandy. With much vada-ing and some wonderful film adaptations, such as A Fistful of Denaro and Oliver Stick, Stop Messing About is packed with outrageously funny sketches, parodies, double entendres and saucy songs. Stop Messing About - the first all-nude radio show. Nervous listeners are advised to keep their eyes closed - and it s forbidden to take photographs.

Reviews

One of the most authoritative Bowie books you're ever likely to read.

—— Mojo

As a critique-cum-re-establishment of the David Bowie character, "definitive" is pretty much it.

—— Guardian

A fascinating portrait of a fascinating artist ... if you like Bowie and you're into biographies, this is the one to read

—— Marc Almond

Buckley manages the ultimate achievement of any rock biog and sends you scuttling back to the records.

—— Guardian

A definitive re-establishment of the man and the myth of David Bowie.

—— Future Music

Goddard widens his previous book's mixture of detail and passionate celebration to Morrissey's entire aesthetic universe

—— Dave Hill , The Guardian
