  In this sequel to his war memoirs Milligan is now on Civvy street and a jazz trumpeter in the Bill Hall Trio, playing at venues ranging from the Hackney Empire to a Freak Show in Zurich. This autobiography, which captures the atmosphere of a grey post-war Europe, ends with Milligan pursuing a solo stand-up career as a comedian and the first ad lib sessions of The Goons, with Bentine, Sellers and Secombe.
