Later, he created Davros. Prior to 1962 he had co-written a number of comedy scripts, but What a Whopper was his first solo credit. The film was released on the 17th of October 1961 and starred Sid James and Adam Faith, along with Clive Dunn and Spike Milligan, and the ill-fated Carole Lesley.

London: Smith, Elder & Co.. London, Smith, Elder & Co., 1903. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A near fine copy in a very good jacket. Seemingly a variant issue.

Spine tips are a bit bumped. TEG. [10078, Hyraxia Books]. . Near Fine. Hardback. 1st Edition. 1903.
