Really enjoyed this. Wonderfully funny and utterly charming - just like the man himself! -- Jack Whitehall By turns funny, touching, revealing - full of insights, delights and surprises. I couldn't have enjoyed it more -- Gyles Brandreth A gorgeous book. Warm, friendly , funny and sometimes surprisingly emotional. Very like Hugh himself -- Richard Curtis When other books have been forgotten, this one will be remembered. Hugh Bonneville's considerable talent for writing is on display page after page. Beautiful. Touching. And funny. -- Gary Oldman Charming, joyous and entertaining, just like Hugh. -- Griff Rhys Jones
