About this title

Review

Frasier is, quite simply, one of the best programmes on the box and anyone who has ever tuned in to spy on the deceptively intricate machinations of the Seattle psychiatrist and his band of merry misfits will undoubtedly want to own this book. With an introduction by Christopher Lloyd, the executive producer, The Best of Frasier is a compilation of 15 complete scripts from the first five series of the Emmy Award-winning show. From the pilot episode, "The Good Son", where the now familiar cast cut their teeth and won over a network, to the out and out farce of "The Matchmaker" and "The Ski Lodge" and the delightful parody "Last Tango in Seattle", each script is a small work of art that has deservedly won a place in the annals of sit-com history.

The Best of Frasier is a joy to read, with the pure genius of the writers even managing to combat the nagging difficulties that stage direction and technical jargon as seen on a page can often cause a reader. And as the written words transform themselves into the distant baritone boom of Frasier, the steely affectations of Niles, the rasping common sense of Martin, the strange English lilt of Daphne and the honeyed tones of Roz without the benefit of a television and a remote control, there is no mistaking that Frasier is still, and probably will always remain, something very special indeed. -- Susan Harrison
