About Spike Milligan

Spike Milligan, the much-loved entertainer, broadcaster and writer, was widely regarded as the most influential British comedian since the Second World War. On his death in 2002, he was remembered as an 'irreverent and hysterical presence' by Prince Charles. Fellow comedian and writer Stephen Fry described Milligan's writing as 'absolutely immortal'. He was awarded a CBE in 1992 and an honorary knighthood in 2001. He was also recognised with two Lifetime Achievement Awards: one at the British Comedy Awards in 1994 and the other at the British Book Awards in 2000.
