Since his first broadcast - on the same bill were George Robey,Suzette Tarri and the legendary Tommy Handley - Charlie has known some of the greatest names in showbusiness and,as King Rat of the Grand Order of Water Rats,he became firm friends of such internationally famous stars as Charlie Chaplin,Jimmy 'Schnozzle' Durante and Maurice Chevalier,as well as our own great names of the theatre and radio.This is,perhaps,not an autobiography in the real sense of the word,but a man recalling with affection,and sometimes not without criticism,the fifty years he spent in showbusiness (then 1974).
