Press clippings
Last night, Spike Milligan finally had a show to himself once again, but far from lifting the sense of gloom, Omnibus: Spike (BBC1) was itself cloaked in a fog of melancholy that gave it the feel of a premature obituary. Watching it may, for Milligan, have felt like an out of body experience from which the temptation to float back down from the ceiling was far from strong.
