During Corrie this evening imagine my delight to see one of my favourite ads ever unexpectedly repeated. Tommy Cooper + Lego = all time classic.

Why bother?
Shouting at the Telly is a book featuring contributions by Richard Herring, Rebecca Front, Boyd Hilton, Jim Shelley, Emma Kennedy, Kevin Eldon, David Quantick, Andrew Collins and many more... You can almost taste it here.
'We love telly, and we think you love telly too, so why not read loads of fascinating opinions all about telly in this new book' Heat Magazine
'An eclectic bunch of pundits who are all united by one thing: a love of television. ... Serious enthusiasts one and all ... a seriously enjoyable read' P. D. Smith, Guardian
Is Freddie from Scooby-Doo a colossal pervert? What does Howards' Way tell us about the eighties? How do you win America’s Next Top Model? Which programmes do you only watch when you’re off sick? And if you play the theme from Inspector Gadget in a nightclub, will people dance?
Comedians, actors and writers wrestle with these and other weighty issues in Shouting at the Telly, a book of heartfelt rants and raves on everything from soaps to sitcoms, sci-fi to reality shows, HBO to QVC. All of TV is here: Juh-neeen’s ‘evil hug face’ in EastEnders; the age-old rift between BBC and ITV that tore families apart; the secret shame of crying at adverts.
