The best book on comedy you FIbAnnfEn haven't read (yet)By G. GuarinoComedy Rules is a unique book about the genre. mT4pqkmDL Jonathan Lynn's anecdotal style makes this an easy read, helping the reader 1n1KfXZTD understand the nuances of writing comedy. As a long time fan of Mr. Lynn and ADY1CzVQL his work, particularly the Yes, Minister/Prime Minister series, I found his mIZjxQ1TC references entertaining as well. Anyone interested in writing comedy in prose or Q8o2hbp8S for the screen, should read this book. Makes me wish I was with the members of Monty Python as they rose to fame.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting fun, but with no big focus or payoffBy DalcassianThere is not much bad to say about the author or the book, though it might prove disappointing to fans of "My Cousin Vinny" about which relatively little appears. The book has the strengths of its design -- mixing how-to with autobiography and thereby giving us insights and nice anecdotes of life, creativity, and celebrity, along with a fair dose of laughter. It also has the weaknesses of that structure -- lacking strong focus, flow, and analysis.Fans of the multi-talented accomplished man, his works, or his field should definitely give it a look. But there's no big payoff or put-off. ("My Cousin Vinny" also deserves more share of recollection than it gets here even if it is technically after the title time period.)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. very enlighteningBy Robert and Jo Anna Oldania great addition to my library of "yes, minister" and "yes, prime minister" material...hard to find book, but worth the search Jonathan Lynn's credits include creating and co-writing the long-running comedy series Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, as well as hit films Clue, My Cousin Vinny, Nuns on the Run and The Whole Nine Yards. With experience as a comedy actor, writer and director, here Jonathan Lynn shares valuable and hilarious lessons in all aspects of creating great comedy, all illustrated with brilliantly insightful and revealing anecdotes about his work and the legedary actors, writers and comedians he's worked alongside..

Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 27 Sep. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781472545015.ch-005>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 27 September 2021, 09:38 UTC.

Certainly, an unprecedented proportion of voters participated in general elections and belonged to the three main political parties at this time. These parties were moreover often rooted in local popular cultures. The Young Conservatives, for example, had in excess of 150,000 members, many of whom enjoyed a vibrant collective social life that encompassed sports of various kinds and even holidays to Spain.1 In spite of this most Britons’ relationship with Westminster politics was hardly intimate, certainly not before 1939 nor during the 1950s, and as the latter decade gave way to the 1960s and 1970s it became increasingly distant.2 Hitherto Labour and the Conservatives had found class a useful means of mobilizing support and while they continued to employ class-based appeals, the rising salience of other forms of identity meant they became less effective.3 The established working- and middle-class communities in which the parties had found a niche were being transformed and replaced by the self-conscious individualism of a new kind of suburbia.

Nicméně za sebou má neméně slavnou a významnou kariéru v oblasti médií a public relations. Ostatně, za svůj přínos byl v roce 1988 jmenován rytířem. Stejným titulem se může pochlubit mj. také Elton John nebo Tom Stoppard. V devadesátých letech byl Jay poctěn také Řádem královny Viktorie za osobní služby královské rodině. Prokázal je zejména prostřednictvím dvou televizních dokumentů z produkce BBC, k nimž napsal scénář. Jmenovaly se Královská rodina (1969) a Alžběta R., rok v životě královny (1992). Robert Hardman v časopise Spectator napsal, že scenárista Antony Jay prostřednictvím dokumen- tu o Alžbětě II. v podstatě obnovil funkci britské monarchie. Antony Jay není jen specialistou na britskou královskou rodinu, ale je rovněž expertem na byrokracii. Osm let před svými a Lynnovými úspěšnými „britkomy“, v roce 1972, napsal například Domácího průvodce Společenstvím obrany proti byrokratické agresi.
