[Darla Ebert]

Tepidly written with a little too much in the way of details of the back and forth of the comedians' hiring and letting-go's The two men themselves were so naturally good at what they did and by what they accomplished. I wish I had known about them at the height of their popularity but we do not live in the UK and for most of the men's career I was too young to appreciate them.

[Ellie]

An interesting behind the scenes look at the UK's most famous comedy duo. With insights from family, friends, people they had worked with, and fellow comedians that they had inspired. It didn't tell me much that I didn't already know, but it fleshed out the stories behind the incidents.
