Oh lawdy, how I’ve missed him AND those he conscripts into his satirical adventures - and this, THIS brilliant offering “Harry Lampeter and the Unholy Alliance” is pure gob smack me … oh NO he didn’t … holy $%&@ he DID … gold! Our author has been very, VERY creative in THIS one, and the result is STUNNING! There are surprises aplenty, both in character development AND plot development - none of which I saw coming!! I won’t spoil the soup by giving any away, but I will say without reservation, brace yourself, you’re in for a wildly entertaining ride - one that I would not have missed for the world! I was so engaged, SO enthralled, so completely immersed in this story! MY reality be dammed! Dinner … pffft! Let them eat take out! There was NO WAY I was stopping! The chef’s kiss … the narration was also perfect, absolutely PERFECT and on point at every juncture! “Harry Lampeter and the Unholy Alliance” is one heck of a marvelous satirical stunner - I’m still smiling from ear to ear at the thought of what I just listened to, and dear author if you’re listening, more, pretty, pretty please! This one … easily … FIVE stunning stars across all categories!!!

  A fabulous discussion in celebration of comedy writers Vince Powell & Eric Merriman; in general, and the essence of the historical context of humour. Fun, Funny & really rather deep at times! With dear chums GEORGE CAMILLER (Mind Your Language), ANDY MERRIMAN (Hattie Jacques biographer), JAMES PERTWEE (David Croft comedies), and ROGER LEY (The Punch and Judy Man). As I was leaving, actress Anita Harris came over to tell me how much she'd enjoyed my talk. A memorable day for me. Thanks to Robert and Gemma Ross.

  As I am one of the last people alive to have worked with the famous British comedian Tony Hancock, his Appreciation Society kindly invited me to their 100th anniversary celebrations. I was a 12 year old child in 1961 when I worked as a stand-in on the set ot 'The Punch and Judy Man', Hancock's second film. I gave a 30 minute talk about my experiences and the audienc of about forty Hancock enthusiasts were very friendly and receptive. I think we all enjoyed ourselves.  Afterwards there was an excellent dinner with about 50 guests and a question and answer session with some outstanding celebrities - and myself. The guests were: Roger Ley, Robert Ross, Adam McLean, John Hewer and Kevin McNally It was a lively session and a memorable evening.

  Harry Lampeter and the Unholy Alliance   A satire at the expense of the establishment, but as Harry Lampeter says, ‘If you can’t take a joke, you shouldn’t have joined.’   Two years after he blew up the Channel Tunnel to foil the Franco-German invasion, Harry Lampeter returns to England, hoping for employment with MI6. The political climate in Europe has changed. The Roman Catholic Church, led by mad Pope Benedict XVII, is attempting to fill the power vacuum in Europe by reviving the Holy Roman Empire, with himself as Emperor.
