Vince Powell - From Rags To Gags: The Memoirs Of A Comedy Writer

Vince Powell - From Rags To Gags: The Memoirs Of A Comedy Writer

The remarkable personal memoir of comedy writer Vince Powell.

From the slums of post-Victorian Manchester, this is the story of his rise to riches and multiple smash-hit television comedies, through the power of laughter, borne of a love for the last of the music hall performers.

From Coronation Street and Arthur Lowe to Sid James and a trilogy of TV sitcoms starring the South African-born performer, Powell's work covers some of the most important television comedies of the 1960s and 70s.

Features forewords by Cilla Black and Barry Cryer.
