When was the last episode of Scorpion Tales really broadcast? Who discussed the state of the nation with Richard Whiteley? Who was Joe's Stomach? And what even was Scorpion Tales? The answers lie on British television between 1961 and 2004, in unwatched corners and random prime-times of the past, remembered in yellowing listings magazines...and this book. Two dozen randomly-chosen days of British television across more than forty years, recalled and analysed, and where necessary, poked fun at. Discover a time when Peter Sissons was a heartthrob, Steve Davis was a talk-show host, Bernard Manning was a philosopher and racist detective shows were common afternoon fodder. From the creator of ITV in the Face, The Hard Sell and Watch and Smile.
