This hilarious collection of humorous quotations, full of wisecracks and wit, snappy comments and inspired fantasy, has been specially compiled by the late broadcaster and raconteur Ned Sherrin, with a foreword by leading British satirist, Alistair Beaton.
Now packed with even more quotes and covering more subjects than before, from Weddings to the Supernatural, Headlines to Australia.
