Global mobile entertainment group offer Spike Milligan comedy creations to mobile and online users

London, United Kingdom (23rd April 2008): The work of Spike Milligan, the writer, poet, musician and comic genius who revolutionised comedy after the Second World War, is now available on the web and for mobile phone users through ROK Entertainment Group Inc. (OTCBB: ROKE), the global mobile entertainment group

Norma Farnes, his agent and manager for 36 years said "Ironically, Spike, born in India in 1918, distained all gadgetry, including radios that didn't have just three knobs – one to turn it off and on, one for tuning and one for volume – together with cars that had automatic gears, computers and mobile phones, but he would have been delighted that his work was being made available to a wider audience".

Spike is famous for founding the Goon Show which he wrote and then performed with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe.

Now for the first time Spike's work can be downloaded and mobile phone users can purchase Goon Show tapes and songs as well as the hilarious seven volume War Memoirs including 'Adolf Hitler My Part In His Downfall', 'Rommel? Gunner Who?' and 'Monty: His Part In My Victory' as audio books. Spike's original drawings which were turned into Greetings Cards, the biggest sellers in the UK, are also available in animated form from www.spike-milligan.com and are priced at £1.50 per ringtone or realtone and £4.50 per audio book.  

"Spike was a truly unique comedy genius and much of what he created is timeless," added Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman of ROK "so I'm delighted we've been able to work with Norma on creating this service for all his fans worldwide and to help showcase his brilliance to a whole new generation by packaging it for mobile and the web."

About Spike Milligan:

Born in India in 1918, Spike's comic skills were honed by performing sketches and shows for fellow troops during WWII.
Back in Britain after the war, Spike worked as a trumpeter and jobbing scriptwriter with his breakthrough coming with The Goon Show, the surreal comedy that dominated the airwaves for nine years.
He wrote most of the 250-odd episodes single-handed, a task which contributed to a series of nervous breakdowns.
Spike's next triumph was his Q programmes for TV, which invented a whole new comic genre, often abandoning punchlines and allowing sketches to morph seamlessly into each other.
He also wrote many books, including a series of much-loved army memoirs. 
Spike died in 2002.  A comic genius to the last.

Classic One-liners from Spike:

"All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy."

"Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs?"

"For ten years Caesar ruled with an iron hand. Then with a wooden foot, and finally with a piece of string."

"How long was I in the army? Five foot eleven."

"I can speak Esperanto like a native."

"I have the body of an eighteen year old. I keep it in the fridge."

"I thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine."

"I'm a hero with coward's legs."

"I'm not afraid of dying I just don't want to be there when it happens."

"My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic."
