Reviews

[Ginny]

Great humor from a bygone British era. Lots of corny puns -- "We've got a pilferer." "How are you going to get her to swallow it?" I've been a fan of Frank Muir and Denis Norden since My Word and My Music were aired on the radio in the U.S. several years ago. It was fun to read some of their other work, in this case scripts from a TV show based on an earlier radio show.

A hilarious book, i loved this and wish the skits were released on dvd.
The humour is sarcastic and in the vein of Steptoe and son.

My first experience of The Glums was at the age of six, when I saw a repeat run of the late '70s LWT series (which this book was published to tie in with). I thought then that it was one of the funniest things ever. I've recently been listening to several episodes of Take It From Here on BBC Sounds, and I still think The Glums is one of the funniest things ever. Ergo, this book is brilliant.
