The will only ever be one Flash Harry for me!
A great trip down memory lane George Cole appeared in many of the old comedies I loved as a child along with the great Alastair Sim, as wells as an appearance in one of my favourite dramas An Inspector Calls and of course the unforgettable Arthur Daley.
George Cole is a private person so this is more about his career films, TV, radio and plays he has appeared in with funny little stories and glimpses in to his private life.

This book is not much of an autobiography; it's more of a walk through all the films, tv and plays that George Cole has appeared in. Very little in the way of personal material and not many anecdotes. I felt a bit cheated to see that there are numerous tables and lists at the end which only reiterate everything that's gone before and seem only to pad out the book. On the plus side there are quite a lot of photographs. Mediocre at best, I'm afraid.
May be of interest to fans of old British movies, I'm a fan, but not quite that much! I didn't get as far as the Minder years. Poor (ghost) writing lets it down.
