Inhaltsangabe

From the creator of Dad's Army comes a fascinating and highly entertaining autobiography packed full with the people, stories and experiences that inspired many of the characters and scenes from this much-loved comedy. But it doesn't just stop with Dad's Army. Jimmy Perry is also responsible for the other hugely popular British comedies It Ain't Half Hot, Mum, Hi De Hi and You Rang, M'Lord? Stupid Boy is Jimmy's story from his early years growing up in London, his experiences in the Watford Home Guard, as a Gunner in Burma, as a member of the Royal Artillery Concert Party that travelled the Indian subcontinent entertaining the troops, as a Redcoat in Butlins, at RADA, in show business and much, much more. Read all Jimmy's fantastic stories as he relates, as only he can, the amazing real-life experiences that inspired the key ingredients of the comedies we have all come to know and love. Funny, witty and highly enjoyable, and fully illustrated with over a hundred fascinating and exclusive photographs, Stupid Boy is a must for all fans of Dad's Army, Jimmy Perry, and his work.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jimmy Perry was born in 1923 in London. It was always his dream to be in show business, but before this dream could be fully realised, he first had to serve his time in the army in World War II. After a period in the Home Guard, he was called up and sent to Burma. His ability to entertain was recognised early and he became a member of the Royal Artillery Concert Party, an armed fighting unit as well as a group of artistes! On his return to Britain, he won a place at RADA, and from there moved in to his chosen career in show business. His writing credits include Dad's Army, It Ain't Half Hot, Mum, Hi-De-Hi! And You Rang, M'Lord? He now lives in Northants, with his wife.
