The laugh-out-loud third volume of Danny Baker's memoirs, following the bestselling Going to Sea in a Sieve and Going Off Alarming.

"In these memoirs I bounce all about British TV with such success that I wind up in radio. I will also be filling a few holes that I left in the previous decades. For example, I managed to forget in Book One that I had been shot. Twice."Danny Baker's first volume of autobiography, Going to Sea in a Sieve , was a Sunday Times  bestseller, acclaimed for its non-stop humor and anecdotal flourish. It told the exploits of Danny's childhood and the wild living of his teenage years. Now, he is 25 and it is 1982, and he embarks on an accidental and anxiety-induced career in television—going off alarming. With rollicking good stories from what he describes as "a frankly crackpot life," Danny continues this stupendous chronicle with irrepressible verve and hilarity. Dozens of TV shows—many of them lousy—give up their backstage stories, and Danny's extraordinary family, particularly his father Spud, react to the ride throughout. Game shows, talk shows, adverts and TFI Friday  are but a few of the unplanned pitstops along the way. Not forgetting the tale of the Dog Who Hanged Himself, Died, Then Came Back to Life Again. . . Clearly, this will be no ordinary show business-stroll down memory lane.

Comedy writer, journalist, radio DJ and screenwriter Danny Baker charts his 30 years in showbiz.

The Sex Pistols sang about it, Nick Hornby claims he regrets not working for it. The fights, the bands, the brawls, the haircuts, the egos, and much more—the definitive book about the infamous music magazine. For 60 years, since it was founded in 1952, the New Musical Express has played a central part in the British love affair with pop music—and has been essential for American connoisseurs to remain in-the-know as well. This authoritative history is an insider's account of the high times and low lives of one of the world's most influential music magazines. It explains the stories behind the stories that kept readers coming back week after week—the office brawls, the former staffers who launched their careers there (Tony Parsons, Julie Burchill, Nick Kent, Mick Farren, Steve Lamacq, and Stuart Maconie), and the bands who owe their success to the magazine. Snotty, confrontational, enthusiastic, and sarcastic: the new issue of the NME was the high point of any music fan's week, whether they were listening to The Beatles, Bowie, or Blur.
