5.0 out of 5 stars We want more Brandons!!!, 16 Jan 2002
The Brandon series is Tinniswood at his finest, superb characters with brilliant dialogue, set against a backdrop of Northern Grime and Rugby league culture in the 60's. I have waited so long for these books to be published, my only dissapointment is that the rest of the series are not available yet, and so many people have yet to enjoy 'Uncle Mort', 'Les' and his son 'Carter'....a man of few words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest contemporary books ..., 13 Mar 2007
Tinniswood deserves a more prominent place in literature. I am lucky enough to own the trilogy (there was a fourth in the series but the first three are very much a continuum). I have derived more pleasure out of reading and re-reading these books than any other books (including the "classics" and Booker Prize stuff). They do have a slightly surreal element but they are written with style, brevity, insight and wit. Tinniswood was trained as a journalist and his observant nature and style I guess come from this backround. I have not seen the TV version but would recommend these books to anyone vaguely attracted to the series. The actual book I Didn't Know You Cared is the best of the bunch for me and is much more centred around Uncle Mort. A Touch of Daniel is the weakest, so if you like it get the others as fast as possible. I think that may be in some people's eyes the televising of the book has lessened the true worth of his work. It also seems odd to me that Amazon put Nobbs as co-author. I am not fully sure but I thought that they fell out because Tinniswood accused Nobbs over plagiarism. Though I enjoy Nobb's books, Tinniswood is in a different league. I would also recommend the BBC Radio Play, A Touch of Daniel, if you can get hold of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surrealism in a Flat Cap, 20 Feb 2003
By R. Simpson (South Kirkby, Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The recent death of Peter Tinniswood sent me back to the classic Brandon saga of the 1960s and 1970s. The deadpan delivery and creation of time, place and class via seemingly unconnected details remain as fresh as ever, and the mix of realistic comedy and absurdist flights is a reminder that surrealism doesn't have to wear a bowler hat. The fact that only A Touch of Daniel has been reprinted is as astonishing as the failure to repeat television's I Didn't Know You Cared. Any comedy that could make a catchphrase of 'Ay, well, mm' (not to mention featuring the wonderful Robin Bailey and John Comer) deserves an appearance between the 35th and 36th re-runs of Dad's Army.
