"Dad's Army" (The Best of British Comedy) by Richard Webber,
This review is from: The Best of British Comedy: Dad's Army: The Best Jokes, Gags and Scenes from a True British Comedy Classic (Hardcover)
I had to star rate it to post this review it deservs minus 5 Star
"Dad's Army" (The Best of British Comedy) by Richard Webber ISBN-10: 0007285302 "Dad's Army" (The Best of British Comedy) If you have not yet bought this book do not waste your money and buy it. I thought by now everything that could be said in books had been said sadly this proved to be true. Buy the other Richard Webber Dads books instead. It is sad to have to say this as Richard wrote the A to Z of Dads Army which is faultless. 1) The books good points 2) The books bad points 3) The only news in it 1) It is hardback and printed on high quality paper 2) It consists of some of the funnier scenes from Dads Army; this is already available in the scripts books. There are little anecdotes from the writers and actors and in the page before each episode covered there is a colour picture of grass (yes) and about six lines of text and wide spacing between the lines 3) Arthur Lowe was really more pompous than he appeared and he revealed this to friends that he was aware he was pompous. I am sorry to have to rubbish this book
