S is for Spike Milligan. There were plenty of contenders for this letter, but Milligan just spiked ahead of the many, being one of the most prolific writers of comedy, let alone performer and one of the funniest men who ever lived (click his name if you don’t believe me). Even in death, he found humour, with his epitaph famously reading: ‘see, I told you I was ill’. Alternatively we could have gone for fellow Goon showers Peter Sellers or Harry Secombe. Yes, we could have gone for Eric Sykes. Or Stewart Lee again. Or all the many other brilliant S named comedians.
