''The Timewaster Diaries'' is the third outing for Robin Cooper, the fictional alter-ego of TV producer Robert Popper ( ''Peep Show''; ''Look Around You''). In his previous two books of ''Timewaster Letters'', Cooper published the rambling and slightly surreal prank letters he sent to a range of real companies and organisations. Their often hilarious comedy sprang from the usually polite but gradually more exasperated replies sent by the unwitting victims as the correspondence progressed.
If you like the sort of 'gentle' comedy which was once the mainstay of British sitcoms, you'll probably enjoy the amiable, bumbling, naive character and his low-key woes. Those who prefer humour with a little more bite should probably steer clear.
