‘Tinkering is packed with puzzles and propositions, with
tea-fuelled musings on everything from plumbing to Paul Holmes. A
gem.’

‘This book comes with some magnificent pictures of Clarke’s beloved
birds and they seem to have represented the magic of the reality of
the world to him. There is plenty of that magic in this book and
everyone who liked John Clarke should buy it and find in it what
will soothe their spirit. It will be there.’

‘The late John Clarke, aka Fred Dagg, really was a satirical
one-off … Tinkering is packed with puzzles and propositions, with
tea-fuelled musings on everything from plumbing to Paul Holmes. A
gem.’

‘…Assessment of his The Games co-writer Ross Stevenson that Clarke
was “the great satirist in the English language” is probably pretty
