It is nice to read the biography of a comedian without a tortured past. Ronnie Corbett is obviously one of those people who remembers the sunny days of summer and forgets the rainy ones.
This book is uniquely Ronnie Corbett: every line has his distinctive vocal lilt and there are a few nuggets, particularly concerning his long standing professional relationship with Ronnie Barker. The friendship, which looked so close on stage and screen, was not so away from the bright lights and grease paint: not, that they were enemies, they simply lead their own lives.
I mostly approve of Corbett's sunny view of life but, I would have been interested to read more about the ear infection which affected his balance and lead to ten years of pre-show fear.
A pleasant book about a pleasant man. ( )
