Description  
An new anthology of telly tales and broadcast bimbling from semi-professional "TV rememberist" Ben Baker, author of "Christmas Was Better In The 80s" and "The Dreams We Had As Children: Children's ITV and Me". A celebration of the past and a desperate search for something in the present with retrospectives on the lost art of teatime television, Jasper Carrott and the excitement live TV, the failed attempts to create "the new Simpsons", my love for Cannon and Ball, the short lived phenomenon of 'exclusive' VHS episodes, when good telly shows become bad video games and, inevitably, ALF. Plus current TV Heaven and Hell, a perfect Christmas, Ghostwatch, the original Big Brother and more. "Ben Baker hasn't just been watching what you were watching on your telly - he was watching what was piled up next to it. Finding the interesting corners in the less interesting corners of television, armed only with a TV Times to save him from accidentally seeing Spatz (and the cover's even fallen off that), this is a riotous look at your favourite - and least favourite - shows from when you watched television because you thought you HAD to... and what you were thinking about while you were only half watching it. No, not like that. We hope."Tim Worthington, author of "The Golden Age of Children's TV"
