Product details

Product Description
Book Description
For twenty years the familiar sound of a brass band theme tune heralded the broadcast of the BBC's most successful TV comedy show. The misadventures of Eric Sykes and his 'twin sister', played by Hattie Jacques, began with 'Sykes and a Telephone' in January 1960 and ran until 1979. Sadly, any plans for further series were shelved when Hattie Jacques died the following year. Repeats of the shows continue to be broadcast to this day, however, proving the enduring quality of this classic comedy.

For this book, Eric has rewritten a special selection of the shows as short stories and these have been illustrated with a marvellous collection of nostalgic photographs.

Sykes fans everywhere will be delighted by the inclusion of a complete Sykes TV script in addition to the episode guide, which provides a lasting record of this landmark in British comedy.

* Special selection of Syke's adventures as short stories

* Features a complete Sykes TV script

* Includes a full Sykes episode guide

* Scores of nostalgic photographs

Synopsis
For 20 years, the sound of a brass band theme tune heralded the broadcast of the BBC's most successful comedy show. The misadventures of Eric Sykes and his "twin sister" began with "Sykes and a Telephone" in January 1960 and ran until November 1979 when "The BBC Honours Sykes" was broadcast. When Hattie Jacques died the following year, any plans for further series were shelved, but repeats of the show continue to be broadcast to this day. Eric Sykes has rewritten a special selection of shows as short stories which are copiously illustrated with stills from the show. The book also includes an original "Sykes" script and complete episode guide.
