That was lovely. Not as laugh out loud funny as I thought it would be, perhaps because I've heard all the stories before and also because Bob Mortimer is a much better performer than writer. What was really great about the book though was his honesty about depression, chronic shyness and feelings of inadequacy. Confessionals are very common, but this was the story of a really nice, considerate guy who despite being immensely successful and talented in his field still feels like he is a sidekick at best. It's made me want to revisit Catterick, one of the few things he's done that I haven't loved, and that he considers his best work. School holidays have started, and we are on countdown to holiday in Pembrokeshire in less than 3 weeks, hurrah
