Win new biography Best Sellers
One of Britain's most popular post-war comedy stars, Peter Sellers, is the subject of the latest biography from one of Britain's most popular comedy historians, Robert Ross.
From The Goon Show to The Pink Panther and international, Hollywood-based stardom, Sellers was - and more than 40 years after his tragic early death, remains - a genuine comedy powerhouse. Legend, icon, superstar, hero: whatever superlative you choose, no one will argue.
With the complex turbulence of his personal life already well documented in previous books, films and countless television documentaries, this new work, Best Sellers, is subtitled A Life In Comedy and instead looks at just that: his life's work creating fantastic comedy characters for audiences around the globe.
From Doctor Strangelove and Hercules Grytpype-Thynne to Grand Duchess Gloriana XII, Harry Robinson and Inspector Clouseau - plus many more - this latest "labour of love" from biographer Ross is a must-own for any self-respecting British comedy aficionado.
