In February of 1977, a well-meaning teacher named Stephen Gard wrote to Spike Milligan after reading Monty, the third installment Spike’s memoirs which focused on his life as a soldier in World War II, and asked some questions about the book. Spike replied with this letter, read brilliantly by Sanjeev Bhaskar at Letters Live at London's Freemason's Hall, back in 2015. © Spike Milligan Productions
