I am reading a book called "Didn't You Kill My Mother-In-Law?" by roger Wilmut and Peter Rosengard.
It was published in 1989 and is a fantastic history of the generation of Alternative Comedians who revolutionised comedy from the late seventies to the late eighties.
It is extremely extensive and covers comedians including Victoria Wood, Mayall and Edmonson, Richardson and Planer, French and Saunders, Alxei Sayle, Pauline Melville, Frost and Arden, Ben Elton, Keith Allen, Arnold Brown, Helen Lederer, Jenny Eclaire and many, many others.
It covers shows including "The Young Ones", "Happy Families", "Girls On Top", "The Comic Strip Presents...", "French and Saunders", "Saturday/Friday Live" "Filthy Rich and Catlflap", Victoria Wood's programmes and so many more - an excellent comedy resource.
Anyone else read it?
