Just received Bill Owen's book from amazon; got a
good price. Looks wonderful, and the pictures are great.

Gonna start on it tonight!

No - Bill had a quite varied career prior to SW, was part of the original Carry On film ... for example
 
We just watched an old Richard Greene "Robin Hood" with Bill Owen in it.....
almost didn't recognize him!
 
He was also in whatever happened to the likley lads? he played Thelma's father. One particular episode i enjoyed was when bill gets caught in a hotel with his secretary, brilliant series.
 
Just actually started the Bill Owen book. Looks to
be autobiographical, beginning in the very early
days when Bill was singing in pubs, and eventually
with big bands. His writing sounds very like his
bits in the 25-years and 30-years of SW programs.
