Book Overview
Ronnie Barker has long been known as one of Britain's greatest comedy performers. But he was also responsible for writing much of the material he performed, often hiding the fact from the public by using a number of pen names. Showcasing the complete work of a true comic icon, All I Ever Wrote is a laugh-out-loud collection of sketches, monologues, songs, poems, and scripts from every strand of Ronnie's long and brilliant career. With gems like "Fork Handle's," "Three Classes," and "Frost on Sunday," Ronnie's clever writing, double entendres and spoonerisms will bring a smile to your face, as you rediscover some of the 20th century's finest comedy moments.

"All I Ever Wrote" is a big book from an immensely talented man - 734 pages containing 229 sketches and plays and 11 poems. A veritable cornucopia of English humour, it's amazing just how many classics of English hunour were penned by Ronnie Barker (under the pseudonym Gerald Wiley) - from "Futtock's End (the near silent film with almost no dialogue) to "Four Candles". A vast majority first saw the light of day on the "Two Ronnies" - monologues, dialogues, songs and serials. Barker wrote nearly three-quarters of the scripts for the TV program that ran for 15 years. Ronnie Barker was not a comedian, but he was an extremely capable actor with a talent for comedy. Without a script he was not a funny man - off-stage he was a quiet family man - but given a good script he became a comic genius. "All I Ever Wrote" proves just how much of a genius Ronnie Barker really was.
