As the director of Bottom and Red Dwarf (plus many other great comedies), Ed Bye had a huge hand in shaping our funny bones. The man who wrangled Rik and Ade really knows his comedy & he very kindly wrote the foreword for the book - which is re-published today! wiltonsquarebooks.com/products/tal...
