Summary

'And God said, Let there be light; and there was light, but Eastern Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.'

There have been many interpretations of the Old Testament over the centuries but never one quite like this.

Spike Milligan has rewritten, in his own inimitable style, many of the best-known stories of the Old Testament, featuring characters like King 'my brain hurts' Solomon; the great oaf of a giant, Goliath; and the lesser-known crossword clue, Hushai the Archite.

Believers and nonbelievers alike will enjoy this hilarious reworking, where the jokes, jests and jibes tumble over each other from chapter one, verse one until kingdom come.

A wonderful book

wonderfully daft with Spike's unique style. I spent the time giggling like an idiot. Spike as the narrator added an extra dimension to it.

Well worth a listen

I loved it and laughed constantly, I always loved Spike's humour. I wish he were still with us.

Biblical fun

Interesting reading of the Bible, with plenty of dark humour. It’s almost like Spike is ‘reading’ this over a pint and conversation.
Great for car journeys (without kids), with a few laugh out comments. Pity he didn’t to other religious books…..

Sorry Spike

Sorry Spike, this is a compilation of the same joke over and over again, almost literally. I loved you but this is awful.

Not very funny

Gave up half way through, I couldn't listen any longer. More excruciating than funny. Enough said!
