Ben Elton’s non-fiction output spans over four decades, from Bachelor Boys (1984) to What Have I Done? (2025). Bachelor Boys is a tie-in to The Young Ones, the influential British sitcom Elton co-wrote in the early 1980s.
What Have I Done? (2025) is a memoir covering Elton’s career across comedy, television, novels, musicals, and theater. The forty-year gap between the two non-fiction titles reflects a career spent primarily producing fiction and scripts rather than personal non-fiction.
