Unusual book

Biographie de l'auteur: Harold Snoad joined BBC Television after working in the theatre and climbed the rungs of the production ladder, becoming a producer/director in 1969 - in those days one of the youngest in the business. He started by directing a number of episodes of Dad's Army and then produced and directed numerous comedy series over the years starring, amongst others, Ronnie Barker, John Inman, Eric Sykes, John Cleese, Leslie Phillips, Geraldine McEwan, Susan Hampshire and Dick Emery, with the last of whom he worked for eight years.

His series over the years include Oh, Brother!, Are You Being Served?, His Lordship Entertains, Sykes and a Big, Big Show, Rings on Their Fingers, Casanova '73, The Dick Emery Show, Tears before Bedtime, The Further Adventures of Lucky Jim, Partners and Hilary.

There then followed the six series of Don't Wait Up starring Tony Britton, Nigel Havers and Dinah Sheridan (which won the 1989 T.R.I.C. [Television and Radio Industries Club] award for 'Sitcom of the Year'), Ever Decreasing Circles, starring Richard Briers (which was nominated for a BAFTA award two years running), the Ray Cooney farce Wife Begins at Forty, and, of course, Keeping Up Appearances. This was twice nominated for a BAFTA and, in 1995, won Holland's prestigious Silver Tulip Award.

As a writer, Harold Snoad adapted 66 episodes of Dad's Army for the radio before writing two original comedy series for that medium, as well as a series for television starring Richard Wilson and Bernard Cribbins. After 38 years with BBC Television, he has now returned to the theatre and recently directed the stage play Say Who You Are. He has also given a number of talks on cruise liners, mainly the QE2 but others as well, about television comedy. He is the author of the BBC publication Directing Situation Comedy (1988).
