This is the story of how four people, Spike Milligan, Eric Sykes, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, grouped together inside a set of offices five floors above a greengrocer's shop on Shepherd's Bush Green and launched a golden age of comedy, producing shows like 'The Goons' and 'Hancock's Half Hour' among many others.

Graham McCann is the most admired entertainment writer at work in the UK today. He is the critically acclaimed and best-selling author of books on Dad's Army, Frankie Howerd, Morecambe & Wise and Cary Grant. He recently edited THE ESSENTIAL DAVE ALLEN for Hodder & Stoughton (2005).
"'Never has the sheer awkwardness of the human condition been so comically, or beautifully, conveyed.' - Daily Mail * 'As with his masterly account of Dad's Army, this is an objective and scrupulously researched study, unlikely to be superseded.' - Roger Lewis, Spectator * 'McCann's lively biography is rooted in those post-music-hall days, his portrait of the period is vivid.' - Alex Clark, Sunday Times"
