About the Author:
Norma Farnes has been Spike Milligan's agent, manager and friend for over 35 years. She lives in Yorkshire and London.
Review:
The premise for this biography is easily believable. Norma Farnes was Spike Milligan's long-time manager and the question she was most asked was 'What's he really like?' Her stock answer used to be 'interesting', or 'don't ask', but this is her attempt to tell the truth. Serialisation is inevitable so no manuscript is available. However, it has to be an enlightening read: any person who could deal with the comedian day after day for 35 years is not going to write the kind of book that would have had Spike reusing his description of Prince Charles - 'grovelling bastard'.
