All I Ever Wrote: The Complete Works [Paperback]

Exactly what it says on the packet. Ronnie Barker's complete works (or at least as much as he could find!).

What a lot of people don't know is that Ronnie Barker was responsible for writing most of the material he performed - whether solo, with Ronnie Corbett or in sitcom. The fact that he often hid behind a number of pen names may explain this... Ronnie is already loved by millions for his roles in Porridge, Open All Hours and that perennial worldwide hit, The Two Ronnies (which ran to 12 series). But now you can discover for yourself the wealth of his talent, from his early radio and Frost on Sunday sketches to classic monologues and the immortal songs, his (almost) silent films - including Futtock's End - to his final sitcom, Clarence, the play Mum and the previously unseen Rub a Dub Dub (Two Men in a Pub). You can't even look at this book without a smile coming to your face; open it up and you may never stop laughing.

Ronnie Barker may have retired from stage and screen in 1987, preferring to let one of the greatest bodies of work in British television comedy speak for itself, but the occasion of his 70th birthday prompted this collection. Previously published in hardback by Essential, it quickly sold out and is now much sought-after.
