About this listen

'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 few laughs. Engaging. But the references to women's breasts and body shapes isn't appropriate and ruins the book. Couldn't ever recommend it to anyone.

I was glad that Spike narrated this or it wouldn’t have had the same impact. Spike’s humour is unique but should still strike a chord with others as a light hearted view on the bible and it’s terms

I think I over sold myself on this one, it being Spike Milligan, but it just seems to grate instead.

I expected to enjoy Spike more.
