'A rollicking good read...it shines a light on the metaphorical castration of working class soap characters by BBC bigwigs who have never set foot in the East End' - SpikedOnLine

'Hilarious, spot on and brilliantly observed' - the Daily Star

'Really funny and genuinely insightful' - Brendan O'Neill

Son of a fireman, Garry trained under the legendary Paul Foot on the Socialist Worker – and was promptly placed under surveillance by the British security services. They’re probably still watching him. As show business editor of The Sun, he became in Ross Kemp’s words, “the most feared critic in the business”. He’s written best-selling biographies and two gripping crime novels, and he is deeply associated with British youth cults, rock, punk and Ska bands. Garry has discovered new talent by the bucket-load, managed bands, championed working class comics and notched up a Number One hit. His #1 rated ITV series Bushell On The Box trounced Coronation Street for audience share.
