Legendary comedian, writer and Grumpy Old Man Arthur Smith tells the funny, terrifying story of his father Syd, POW and PC on night duty in 1950s London – an ordinary man who lived through extraordinary times.
Syd Smith fought at El Alamein, became a prisoner of war, and ended the war in Germany’s notorious Colditz Castle. In the 1950s PC Syd patrolled London’s South Bank and met a gallery of characters, whom he tried his best not to arrest. Arthur tells this 20th Century story with laughter, amazement and a hilarious photo.
