His formal education further blighted by the Jesuits — who believed that pain could be equated with learning, and that the only way to teach algebra was with the strap — Merton left his secondary school in Wimbledon and joined the civil service in Tooting.
Nor did he go to university, which is where Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson and others of his generation got together. Only a person who is massively lacking in confidence needs to try and get away with such swanking — and I suspect that Merton, the panel game supremo, a household figure after decades on Have I Got News for You , Room , Whose Line Is It Anyway? As his attempts at re-making some Tony Hancock scripts demonstrated, Merton is no actor.
He is linguistically brilliant, but muffled — when I watch him or listen to him he does seem thoroughly, almost agonisingly, bored. It is no surprise, therefore, to learn that he has had health problems When he broke his leg he also suffered a pulmonary embolism and caught hepatitis from the hospital food.
This is the best chapter in the book — a candid account of panic attacks and paranoia, when Merton thought he was the victim of a Freemason conspiracy.
Talking rapidly and nonsensically, his high level of agitation was eventually ascribed to a bad reaction to anti-malarial pills, but the experience sounds like the psychodrama of all too many a melancholy clown — Sellers, Milligan, Williams Robin and Kenneth , John Belushi, Barry Humphries — to be merely or exclusively that. Merton writes perceptively about the comedians he grew up with. Rib Tickler to Royalty. He also recalls trips to the circus as a child.
