Product Description

Book Description

A selection of Gene Hunt's funniest and most controversial quotes, compiled by the two men who know him best.

Product Description

Ray - So... thinking about these books what the Guv wrote, I wondered if we might, you know, get in on the act a bit. I've knocked this up by remembering things the Guv's said about stuff, thought we could maybe send it to his publishers, get a cut of the proceeds. What do you think? Chris

I think you'll be wearing your knacker-sack as a cap when the Guv sees it. Worth a try though I suppose. Ray

Unable to resist the possibility of some easy cash, DC Chris Skelton and DS Ray Carling have brought together some of DCI Gene Hunt's (rather original) pearls of wisdom. Covering everything from women ("A smack on the arse and a whiff of Brut knocks 'em bandy, girls like to be appreciated.") to talking to fellow officers ("You great soft, sissy, girly, nancy, French bender Man Utd supporting poof!") this collection shows that the only thing 'The Guv' can't restrain is his tongue.

'Anything you say will be taken down, ripped up and shoved down your scrawny neck until you choke to death.'

DCI GENE HUNT

Not so funny 15 Aug 2010
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as part of a Birthday present for my husband. There are a few lines which brought a chuckle to my hubby but most of the book was a disappointment.

A must for all Gene Hunt fans !
A very witty and fun book ! Will bring back all the laughs of the one liners that Gene came out with in Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes. Very readable !

Bof ...
Malheureusement, les comparaisons de Gene ne sont pas ausi savoureuses que dans la série. C'est même lourdingue et convenu.

Fun Book
This book is a fun book, aimed at those fans of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes who love Gene Hunt. It has some brilliant quotes and will cheer up anyones day.
