"* 'Hugely enjoyable... Perhaps without realising it, we are now living through a light entertainment golden age. How nice to have a book that makes you ponder such an idea in the first place.' - Sinclair McKay, Daily Telegraph * 'It is... refreshing to read a book about popular entertainment by someone who genuinely loves it, without so much as a hint of that rather purist, Anglo-Saxon sneer we so often, as a nation, display about things we do simply for pleasure.' - Peter Bazalgette, Sunday Telegraph * 'A fine book... The top-billers are all here... [and] thoroughly researched facts are bolstered by rambling interviews with surviving producers... The achievement of this book is to give credit where it's overdue.' - Kit Hesketh Harvey, Guardian * 'All-encompassing: game shows, quiz shows, talent shows, sitcom spin-offs, magic acts and dancing sea lions.' - Roger Lewis, Mail on Sunday"
