...stale after the third telling. And it's hard to imagine the show would have lasted four seasons had it been called Bunn, Wackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot, since you are fed up before the end of the chapter with reading that it might have been. The saving grace of Autobiography is that it's a handsome beast of a coffee-table book. The special edition comes with snap-on legs and a set of crockery - perhaps the book's best inside joke - and it is crammed with photographs that remind you what a uniquely funny (and extremely silly) team...
