"What's going to happen? ... It's going to dry up.
Spike wrote 83 books and he was a huge generator because
he was very active all the time, but... there's no new work
... and I can only do so much and eventually it will all
dry up. What's in the pot now is going to stop because he's
not writing any more... Yes, Yeats, and Oscar Wilde and
George Bernard Shaw - but how much do they earn from it?
Not a lot, because they're not writing any more."
Norma Farnes, Spike's manager for 25 years and director
of Spike Milligan Productions, the company that owns the
rights to his books
"If the children want to carry on with their father's
work [they can] - maybe Jane might do it, and she will have
to sit behind a desk. Not this desk, because it's mine."
