Product Description
Product Description
Based on Britain’s most popular comedy website, TV GO HOME is a spoof listings magazine that does for the Radio Times what The Onion did for newspapers. Savage, satirical, surreal, and frequently incredibly stupid, this book will make you laugh out loud.
TV GO HOME (http://www.tvgohome.com) is Britain’s most infamous comedy magazine – a cult spoof of both television and TV listings magazines such as the Radio Times. Its merciless, anarchic humour attracts over 150,000 readers a month – an audience that is constantly growing. And this book is that website – multiplied by eight and presented in a handy, portable paper-and-inkward edition.
Its presence, in large numbers, on a prominent shelf, will instantly render your bookshop 36 times more likely to win a trophy in a ‘Most Good Bookshop’ contest or something.
‘One of the biggest word-of-mouth internet cults of the past year… enjoy (it) now… disgusting, disturbing and very funny.’

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic.,
By Rik Burke (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TV Go Home (Paperback)
With more than touch of the Chris Morris about it, this is a truly hilarious paper archive of one of the best sites on the internet. Who would have thought that spoof TV listings could provide so much amusement?Occasionally savage, often surreal, always very funny, and execptionally well written, this is just great stuff. Its also quite a shock seeing something on paper which contains all the vitriol that you can see on the internet. Highly recommended.

Just as good as the website,
By A Customer
This review is from: TV Go Home (Paperback)
The website which has spent the past two years satirising TV programmers increasingly bizarre ideas transfers easily from cyberspace to coffee table. All the long running series are here inclunding the obnoxious Nathan Barley, Mick Hucknall and his unique brand of exhibitionism and 'The ten tasks of one-armed one-legged Hercules.' Unfortunately the book spells the end of the online version but it makes a great archive of one the few comedy sites worth remembering.

Savage genius, the serrated blade of truth.,
By A Customer
This review is from: TV Go Home (Paperback)
The book of the brilliant web-page works well, loads of extra bile and hilarious throughout. Nathan Barley, insert expletive here, even has his own tv channel, in the same vein as UKgold, showing non-stop c***. Everything banal and dumb on TV gets rightly crucified, plus the celebrity "press", eg. Heat magazine, which should make all those hopelessly addicted to that culture as shameful as Judas. Charlie Brooker is up there alongside Chris Morris as the best social commentators in Britain. This is an essential book with a simple message, wake up now!
