Product Description

Synopsis

This book is from the inventor of TV's 'Vision On'.This is a stunning debut book from the multi-talented Wilf' Lunn, best remembered as the off-the-wall inventor in TV shows like 'Vision-on' and 'Jigsaw'. As a writer Wilf' has that laugh-out-loud observational humour that is reminiscent of Billy Connolly, Peter Kay and Victoria Wood.Wilf' writes with deadpan comic wit and insight about an unusual family and upbringing, managing to pack a huge cast of painfully funny characters into one book.Wilf' Lunn first came to public notice in 1942 when he won first prize in a 'War Baby' competition, which he believes was because he was shaped like a bomb. Raised by deaf parents in a cellar in Rastrick, Yorkshire, as a baby Wilf' quickly learned that farting was better than crying for attracting their attention.Reared on 'potted nanny', 'marrowfat pea muffs' and 'corporation pop', and in fear of the Brook Street Gang - who pushed drinking straws up frog's bums to inflate them like balloons - Wilf' survived (whilst marvelling at the adhesive power of dried snot) to fulfil his childhood ambition of having a beard.Many years later, the film star James Mason, advised Wilf' to write about his bizarre life.

This is part of it...up to the age of eleven!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Laughed Till I Cried, 30 Jun 2008
I'd forgotten about Wilf Lunn, thought he was dead - I think everyone of my age loved him when he was on Vision On and Jigsaw. What a great change from all the current misery memoirs! It's not often that you laugh out loud reading a biography (I think Bill Bryson's Thoughts From A Small Island was the only other), but this book had me crying with mirth not far into the first chapter. Even if you've never heard of Wilf Lunn, this book is definitely worth reading. He has a completely unique way of looking at the everyday world and growing up in the Fifties.

There are loads of laughs to be had all the way through this book, the bit about Wilf being locked in the house after a night out had me in stiches.
