Hello to my three blog readers.
If by chance, you have read my various musings on classic TV and music, you might have spotted two of my posts on classic game show, Bruce Forsyth And The Generation Game. Originally, these were published in an ebook I wrote called Cuddly Toy: The Unofficial, Unauthorised Guide To The Generation Game.
And now – just in time for the Christmas shopping rush – it’s now out in paperback!
Don’t worry. This isn’t going to be a relentless advert bombardment a la Temu – Temu’s Broadcasting Company, if you will. But since it’s my first published book, I thought I’d give it a mention.
For any ebook-phobic punters, don’t worry, it has THE SMELL. The printed book smell that hits you instantly when you visit one of the dwindling (sadly) numbers of bookshops.
Apart from THE SMELL, what else can I offer you in my new paperback book? Well, if you’re a fan of 1970s-style Generation Game – or if you hanker after much-missed memories of huddling around the telly with family – this might jog a few memories.
I’ve written as much as I can about each episode that was broadcast between 1971 and 1977. This isn’t just your average episode guide with cold, clinical lists – it goes into detail about the following: Guides to all of the games played. Notable Brucie quotes, gags and puns. Anthea’s twirls. Contestant details. Music played. Special guest profiles. Goofs and fluffs. Broadcast dates. Notable firsts. Crunch questions. Conveyor belt prizes. And whether the finalist did well or not when attempting to recall those prizes!
All of these are crammed in to 458 pages, with the finished paperback result available to buy at Amazon for £12.99. If, however, you have a Kindle, then it’s also available to download for £4.99.
A must for any friend or family member who has fond memories of 1970s TV, culture and days.
