SPIKE MILLIGAN: THE COMPLETE WAR MEMOIRS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK

The seven-volume work covers his years of service from to They tell the narrative of his call up, service in the war, first breakdown, his travels in Italy as an entertainer, and his return to the United Kingdom. The novels are presented in an unusual format expected of such an eccentric character as Milligan. He mixes in performance programs, rough sketches, letter, excerpts from diaries, contemporary photography, and narrative anecdotes accompanied by fake memoranda and comic sketches from top ranking Nazi officials. Nonetheless, he asserted that all the salient facts in the novels were true and that the death of his friends and colleagues would live forever in his mind even if he tried to make light of it. Part One documents the young Milligan at home with his family when Chamberlain announces that Britain was going to war with the Germans. Milligan soon receives a letter with the initials O. S that he does not open. After a series of letter marked urgent makes its way to his house, he opens one to find an invitation to go fight in the war. After the initial setback where he slips a disk in his back, he is on his way to war with the 56th Heavy Regiment where he is immediately identified as a troublemaker. He is disrespectful in speech and calls his commanding officer names in private. Having nothing better to do he spends most of his time setting up musical shows and practicing as a gunner as his regiment is not called up for duty for a year. What follows is a series of diary notations about what was allowed with regard to communication about their ammo, guns, and troop number until they dock in Algeria. This was the time of the invasion of Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, otherwise known as Operation Torch. Now ranking as gunner, his first action in war is to swear that he hopes a plane flying above would crash which it instantly does. Now staying in a variety of accommodations and eating army food, Milligan is still as mischievous as ever and sneaks food to an Arab with a struggling family nearby. It was during this time that he meets Harry Secombe, who would later become one of the goons. Milligan is charged with the laying of phone lines and proceeds to make a lot of noise that could attract the enemy, much to the consternation of his commanding officer. With limited time for playing, Spike and his friends take over a bombed out floor and practice during the evenings. They would sing slushy, nostalgic moon June love songs and entertain their regiment until the army took Tunis.

The contributors analyse some of popular culture's leading and most representative expressions such as TV soaps, quizzes and game shows, TV for children, media treatment of the monarchy, Pop Music, Comedy, Advertising, Consumerism and Americanization. The diversity of both subject matter and argument is the most distinctive feature of the collection, making it a much-needed and extremely accessible, interdisciplinary introduction to the study of popular media culture. The contributors, many of them leading figures in their respective areas of study, represent a number of different approaches which themselves reflect the diversity and promise of contemporary theoretical debates. Their studies encompass issues such as the economics of popular culture, its textual complexity and its interpretations by audiences, as well as concepts such as ideology, material culture and postmodernism.

The most scurrilous, bizarre and certainly the most hilarious military career embarked upon by any bombardier of the 56th heavy regiment, royal artillery, ever. A great man' Stephen Fry Spike Milligan was one of the greatest and most influential comedians of the twentieth century. At the end of the war, he forged a career as a jazz musician, sketch-show writer and performer, before joining forces with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe to form the legendary Goon Show. Until his death in , he had success as on stage and screen and as the author of over eighty books of fiction, memoir, poetry, plays, cartoons and children's stories. Examining a range of cultures, she brings wide reading and close rhetorical analysis to illuminate how writers have met the challenge of representing violence, chaos and loss. War gives rise to problems of epistemology, scale, space, time, language and logic. She emphasises the importance of form to an understanding of war literature and establishes connections across periods and cultures from Homer to the 'War on Terror'. Innovative in its approach and inventive in its encyclopedic range, Authoring War will be indispensable to any discussion of war representation. In this first major assessment of Spike's life and career, the highly respected biographer Humphrey Carpenter has - through copious research and access to many of those closest to the great man - unearthed a character who could be as difficult and contradictory as he was generous and talented. The creator of The Goons was to influence a whole generation of comics, yet was never to feel fully valued. His periods of depression were matched by periods of high creativity - there were poems, novels, volumes of biography, as well as TV series and a one-man show as Spike searched for his best means of expression. There was also, as revealed here, his inveterate womanising. Married three times and with four children to whom he was devoted, two illegitimate children were to remain barely acknowledged, Detailing both his private and professional life, Humphrey Carpenter gives us the most revealing portrait yet of this highly complex genius. Here is the antidote: a dazzling survey of the funniest remarks, quips and observations from Ancient Rome, the Bible and Chaucer right up to The Simpsons and Little Britain. Over 5, of the very funniest remarks to have appeared on paper since, well, paper was invented. The quotations are arranged thematically and cover all aspects of life: from the world we inhabit to the things we eat, smoke and drink; from the way we move around to what and how we learn - oh, and the pointlessness of football. There is a short biography of all of the authors in the book, a brief contextual note for each quotation and an index of keywords to help you find you chosen witticism quickly.
