Richard Whiteley, famous nationwide for his groaning puns and dubious taste in jackets and ties, takes us on an hilarious and vicarious ramble through his career. As presenter of Channel 4's long-running hit show 'Countdown', he writes with the same chatty and witty style which has made him so endearing to young and old alike.
The book covers his early years as a paper boy through his days as school thin boy at Gigglewick, to Cambridge, ITN, Yorkshire Television and, of course, 'Countdown'. Richard writes frankly about the many disasters which have befallen him on his way to becoming a true TV matinee idle.
