Good old fashioned humour and reminiscing.

Brilliant book from start to finish. Listening to his childhood dreams coming to fruition is heart warming. Some great comedy names from past generations clearly meant a lot to Peter and paved his way into a brilliant career 🥰

TV by Peter Kay

Wonderful. So emotional because I remember so many of these times and places and it is beyond lovely to hear Mr Kay talking. I love that he mentioned Victoria Wood and I too cannot watch her programmes. I think she would be cross with us !!
