Strawberries and Cheam

By (author) Harry Secombe, Read by Harry Secombe






| book description |

Sir Harry Secombe was one of Britain's best loved entertainers. After his death in April 2001, at the age of 79, the former Prime Minister John Major paid tribute to him as: 'one of the loveliest of men and a comic genius who gave pleasure to millions.' In this second volume of autobiography, the sequel to his highly praised Arias and Raspberries , he covers his life from 1951. He tells wonderful behind-the-scenes stories of the legendary Goon Shows with Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Michael Bentine, with several hilarious excerpts from the original recordings. He recalls marvellous anecdotes about his role as Mr Bumble in the film Oliver! and his title role in the stage musical Pickwick; his numerous radio and television shows, including the long-running series Highway, and his family life in Cheam.
