After the death of his mother in childbirth, Eric Sykes was farmed out and left under the tender eye of a parrot that lived above his cot. Two years later, his father came to collect him. 'Neither he nor anyone else could understand what I was babbling about. Hardly surprising, as I'd never learned English, but spoke fluent parrot.' From this unpromising beginning he became one of Britain's best-loved comedy writers and performers. His witty autobiography is a captivating account of decades of British radio and television comedy, and its famous stars.
