The Richard Beckinsale Story by David Clayton (view source)
Revision as of 15:48, 14 December 2009

Clayton's admiration of his subject shines through on every page, though his verdict that 'Porridge' was perhaps the BBC's most successful comedy series ever must be that of a fan rather than an objective TV historian. It is a very good biography of an actor who had enormous potential, and our loss that it was never fully realized.
For more biographies of comedy actors, why not also try [[Dear John by Joan Le Mesurier]], or [[BouBounderBounder!: The Biography of Terry-Thomas by Graham McCann]].
