He was part of that Goon Show/Monty Python crowd. They were all pretty strange and funny guys.

It has been used in a lot of parodies, but in recent years, we seem to mostly parody political stuff. Signs of our times, I suppose.

I didn’t know he wrote diaries! Now I’ll have to try and find them … should I ever finish the books I’ve already started!

I know that feeling.
His novel “An Uncommon Reader” is also worth finding. And as a bonus, it’s very short (but very funny).
