Taking a deep dive into his life and times, both private and public, he reveals the true stories behind iconic hits such as \u003cem\u003eThe Young Ones\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBlackadder\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eWe Will Rock You\u003c\/em\u003e. He discusses his pioneering routines hosting \u003cem\u003eSaturday Live\u003c\/em\u003e, which birthed a revolution in stand-up comedy, and so much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBen recounts his life and uniquely varied career from his Catford childhood and being the BBC's youngest ever sitcom writer at 21 right up to the present day, with yet another hit sitcom, \u003cem\u003eUpstart Crow\u003c\/em\u003e; a surprise late-life BAFTA; and his most critically acclaimed stand-up comedy show to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside unique insights into his groundbreaking work, Ben talks honestly and hilariously about his personal and professional relationships with two generations of brilliant friends, inspiring contemporaries, occasional foes, and the times in which they all lived. Ben's life has been just as challenging, rewarding, and funny off-screen as it has been on. He unpacks it all with wit, insight, and complete honesty. And of course, there's a \"little bit of politics\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter living sixty-five years on the planet, forty-five of them in public, tickling many funny bones and getting on a respectable number of wicks, Ben has a lot of stories to tell. He tells them unvarnished and uncensored—because that's who he is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Distribution and Logistics Company (TDLC)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46407837024492,"sku":"9781035059959","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781035059959.jpg?v=1746011031","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/what-have-i-done-by-ben-elton-9781035059959","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
