The long-awaited return of the comedy national treasure!

Blockbusters, Baywatch, Mastermind, Moonlighting, Porridge, Parkinson, and Peter Kay take you on a journey into the wonders of TV – back to the days when Dusty Bin was a household name, Robin of Sherwood was a pin-up, and the Brookside siege was the event of the year. For a young telly-loving Peter growing up in Bolton, TV meant Sunday bath nights with a black-and-white portable, the unbridled excitement of the new Christmas TV guide, and his elderly neighbors inconvenient hearing problem.

Here, for the first time, he collects his TV memories and adventures together in this brilliant book. Join Peter as he finds success on the small screen, leaving his unique footprint in the golden age of TV: from making tea at Granada Studios and marching along to "(Is This the Way to) Amarillo" to hanging out in the Rovers Return, having run-ins with Bernard Manning and starring in possibly the worst Doctor Who episode of all time. You'll go behind the scenes of the legendary Phoenix Nights, take "The Road to Nowhere" with Max & Paddy, and discover how Peter created his BAFTA-winning performance in Car Share.

So sit back and enjoy a journey through the wonderful world of television. Endearing, sidesplittingly funny, and utterly unforgettable – TV sees Peter Kay at his vivid, nostalgic, and hilarious best.
