TonyGreenall4: Off to bed with Spike Milligan's Adolf Hitler & My Part In His Downfall. Never read any of his wartime books before, couple of chapters in and as funny as you'd expect.

CakesAndAle: Tom Sharpe, Wodehouse, Waugh, Hitchhikers, Spike Milligan, Jerome K. Jerome, Amis, and Catch-22 have all been named, so my nominee is one I’ve yet to see named. It made me guffaw, snort, and wryly smirk in equal measure. Excellent book.

StephenLees4: I've recently been gently winding down with the C4 series (on Amazon) "Walking Through History" with Tony Robinson. Last night, he was in the Highlands. I was reminded of this, from Spike Milligan: "Is anything worn under the kilt?" "Och no! It's all in good working order."

somedudeimus210: So, having watched 3 seasons of The Muppet Show so far, the Spike Milligan episode breaks the record for most densely packed racism in a Muppet episode. It's just...wow. Even by 1970s standards it's amazing any of that was okayed.
