Terence Frisby’s most famous play, There’s A Girl In My Soup, was London’s longest-running comedy (six and a half years)1966-1972 and a worldwide smash hit with long runs on Broadway, in Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Sydney, Rome, Vienna, Prague and many other places. It is still constantly produced across the globe.

His script for the equally successful film, which starred Peter Sellers and Goldie Hawn, won the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Award in 1970 for the Best British Comedy Screenplay.

His other stage plays include The Subtopians (Arts Theatre 1964), The Bandwagon (Mermaid 1969), It’s All Right If I Do It (Mermaid 1977), Seaside Postcard (Young Vic 1978) Rough Justice (Apollo 1994) Funny About Love (two UK national tours 1999-2000). All his plays are published by Samuel French and are regularly performed worldwide.

He has also written many plays for television, two of which were nominated for awards. His comedy series include Lucky Feller with David Jason (1976) and That’s Love (1988-92), which won the Gold Award for Comedy at the 1991 Houston International Film Festival.

His radio play, Just Remember Two Things: It’s Not Fair And Don’t Be Late for BBC Radio Four, on which Kisses On A Postcard is based, won The Giles Cooper Play Of The Year Award and achieved some sort of record by being broadcast ten times in a few months on Radio 4 and BBC World Service. A musical stage version of his radio play was produced at the Queen’s Theatre, Barnstaple in 2004.
