A witty and charmingly nostalgic memoir of growing up during the decade in which television changed forever - the 1980s. Television past is another country. And, in the early 1980s it certainly was a different beast. There were still only three channels to watch; the evening's programmes finished with the playing of the National Anthem, and the biggest prize on TV was not Chris Tarrant's million pounds but a speedboat on Bullseye. But as Tom Bromley suggests in this funny and warming memoir, all that was about to change: the 1980s saw the end of the original golden era of television, and the beginnings of how we know it today.
