Eric Sykes

    Cet auteur, acteur et réalisateur britannique s'est fait connaître pour son talent comique, qui s'est étendu sur plus de cinquante ans. Son style se caractérise par la poussée d'une seule idée comique jusqu'à ses extrêmes limites. Il a fréquemment collaboré avec d'autres grands comédiens et scénaristes de son époque. Son œuvre, née de ses débuts à la radio jusqu'à sa célébrité télévisuelle, est célébrée aujourd'hui pour son originalité et son adhésion à l'absurde.
