It reminded me of times at university watching Gladiators and Blind Date before heading to the bar on a Saturday night, and the double editions of Neighbours.

I loved reading the references to things I had entirely forgotten about (You Bet, the theme tune to Big Break, the Martins in Neighbours). As someone who watched a lot of TV myself during this period (and who still does), this format is very appealing to me. Josh Widdecombe is the funniest comedian I have seen live, both times I cried with laughter but unfortunately the book didn't do it for me, maybe if you're more into football it would resonate more.

Focusing on the madness, absurdity and utter chaos of being a parent, the Parenting Hell book was published in October 2022 in hardback, ebook and audiobook, and features some special guests. Even though I appreciated the throwback to the communal experience of pre-internet television, the actual content of the pop-culture didn’t have that ring of recognition for me. There were kids at my school who liked bands, kids who liked football and one weird kid who liked the French sport of petanque, however, we all loved Gladiators, Neighbours and Pebble Mill with Alan Titchmarsh (possibly not the third of these). We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. You can hear Josh’s voice in the book (and no, I didn’t have the audiobook on at the same time) it is just written in his distinctive style.There are chapters on many 1990s TV shows here, amongst them, Gladiators, Badger Girl, Knightmare, You Bet! I’ve sent the extra copy to the lovely friend who introduced me to the podcast in the first place to say thank you for the hours of free entertainment I’ve benefitted from.

This may result in small marks to the dustjacket and title page, please also bear in mind that each signature will be a little different from the one we show here. Josh Widdicombe was born in the same year as me and I can completely relate to watching all of the TV programmes that he discusses as being key parts of his childhood, ranging from Gladiators to Noel’s House Party, to X Files and finally ending with the first season of Big Brother. However, I am over six years older than him (he was born in 1983, I was born at the end of 1976) and here it really shows. The highlight of the book is a spirited defence of Mr Blobby and the failed enterprise of Blobbyland.There were kids at my school who liked bands, kids who liked football and one weird kid who liked the French sport of petanque, however, we all loved Gladiators, Neighbours and Pebble Mill with Alan Titchmarsh (possibly not the third of these).
