Review The Complete Sid James / Reynolds & Hearn:

Sid James rubbed shoulders with the great and good of Hollywood, including Charlie Chaplin, Burt Lancaster, and Lana Turner. He also battled opposite such top-line comedians as Arthur Askey, Stanley Holloway, and Peter Sellers, sang with Tommy Steele, and even danced with Joe Brown. Sid's classic television sitcoms included Citizen James, George and the Dragon, Two In Clover, and the celebrated Bless This House. The Complete Sid James is the indispensable guide to a career that began in South Africa and came to a premature end on the stage of the Sunderland Empire. Compiled with the full support of those who knew Sid best, this is a fitting tribute to a star whose legend lives on.
