I Didn't Get Where I Am Today

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today
By David Nobbs

This autobiography of the man who created Reginald Perrin recounts how he was catapulted into the world of satire at the BBC when he rang That Was The Week That Was with a joke and got through to David Frost, who sent a taxi for the joke and later one for Nobbs himself. He never looked back.

I Didn't Get Where I Am Today is David Nobbs's story, which captures a golden age of British television and describes some of the most famous comedians of the last century, including: Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, the Pythons, Jimmy Tarbuck, Frankie Howerd, the TW3 team and many more.
