From Publishers Weekly
Reading this droll autobiography of comic writer and comedian Lloyd is like being treated to one of his hilarious performances, despite the "clamour and confusion" of his early life as an unwanted child brought up by elderly relatives and in a Dickensian school in wartime England. Quitting school at age 13, Lloyd, who was born in 1930, served stints as a clothing store clerk and plumber's mate, escaping whenever possible to the cinema, all of which furnished material for his career as a scriptwriter and upper class "twit" in Six Five Special, New Look and the popular Billy Cotton Show. Later TV hits, collaborating with David Croft in Are You Being Served? and 'Allo, 'Allo, led to his stint on Rowan and Martin's Laugh In in Hollywood, where he worked with the likes of Danny Kaye, Peter Sellers, Twiggy and Goldie Hawn. Don't miss Lloyd's breakout from the hospital and his encounters with extraterrestrials! Photos.

From Booklist
Lloyd, the screenwriter-actor probably best known for his roles in Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In and his creation of the British comedy Are You Being Served?, is a man of broad talents. He is also the author of a series of children's books, using his prep school nickname, Captain Beaky. Because of a poor memory and a short-term wife, who discarded many of Lloyd's Hollywood photos and memorabilia, his biography is succinct. But, as a result of his inherent comic sense, the anecdotes are neatly polished. Lloyd's path from rat catcher to paint salesman to screenplay writer to actor is a wholly amusing one. Even the reader who begins this book saying, "Who is this guy?" will be more than glad to have made his acquaintance by the end. Denise Perry Donavin
