Product Description

Product Description

Since the start of the century, every important political meeting, every sporting fixture and every dustman's strike has been captured on camera. Many photographs have been taken to record these events, but in presenting them as true accounts, they haven't been very funny. Paul Merton aims to rectify this by subjecting photographs from the great moments of our time to his own interpretation of events.

It's not often I can read a book from cover to cover but did with this, mainly as it's not too long. Laugh out loud funny from the man that is the only reason to watch 'Have I Got News For You'.

It will have you in stiches from beginning to end, if you like your comedy to be a little on the obsurd side. But it must all be true as you can see he was actually there by looking closely at the archive photos.

I first read this book a number of years ago and found it highly entertaining. Paul Merton show's his true credentials as a proper historian by systematically investigating the works of other so called historians and pointing out where they got it so wrong. We all owe Mr Merton thanks for publicising events during the 20th century that David Sarkey would have turned his nose up at. Paul really knows what he is taking about, after all he was there!!!

Seriously funny book, good work fella.
