      The title of this autobiography "If I Don't Write It Nobody Else Will" is very apt. A good humoured and friendly story doesn't have much publisher appeal in an aggressive and confrontational modernity.He came from a grindingly poor background in a Lancashire mill town (marvellously described) and lost his mother who died at his birth. He badly felt the lack of love as his stepmother cared for her own infant son rather than him, but at the same time, he built a bridge to his lost mother from what he knew of her and unreservedly credits her in a mystical way with the opportunities that presented themselves (and that he took).Humour has to be a defining British characteristic, and Eric Sykes and his friends Frankie Howerd, Spike Milligan, Tony Hancock, Tommy Cooper and the rest of them brightened up a drab post war Britain in a marvellous way. Altogether a delight to read and a who's who of British comedy.
