Book Description:
‘I had the idea for this jumper a couple of Valentine’s Days ago and wore it when I attempted to kiss Anne Diamond on TV-am for no less than three minutes and five seconds. I wanted to break the record for the longest screen kiss currently held by Jane Wyman and Regis Toomey whose osculatory marathon is the high point of the 1940 film You’re In the Army Now. Anne and I might have made the record books had our attempt not been abruptly interrupted by live coverage of President Brezhnev’s state funeral in Moscow”
