Synopsis

THE HILARIOUS AND HEARTWARMING SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Ant and Dec hold a special place in the hearts of TV viewers everywhere. This is their epic story, with never-before-seen photography and the very best tales from their 30 years in TV.

Ant: As the old Chinese proverb says, 'Good things come in pairs'.
Dec: And as another Chinese proverb says, 'If you've been in a double act with your best mate for thirty years, why not write a book about all your most memorable moments in three decades of showbusiness?'
Ant: Less catchy that one, isn't it?
Dec: But no less true. And after three decades together, we're writing that book. Covering everything from a pirate radio storyline in Byker Grove through to the biggest shows on telly, this is our story.
Ant: Thirty years, eh? Amazing.
Dec: Absolutely. Especially when you consider we are both still 27 years old.

From their modest beginnings in Byker Grove through to their "unique" time as pop stars and an award-laden TV career, the last three decades have flown by in the blink of an eye. They've also featured an incredible cast of supporting characters, including their first scriptwriter (an unknown comedian called David Walliams), Saturday night fun and games with countless Hollywood A-listers, and celebrities they torture - sorry, work with - every year in the jungle. Told through the lens of every TV show they've made, as well as everything they've learnt along the way, this is the riotously funny journey of two ordinary lads from Newcastle who went on to achieve extraordinary things.

This book was great, and gave us a detailed insight in to some of the main points of their career, from the Byker Grove days, to their pop career and then to the presenting days. It was written very well, from both of their perspectives and was like having a conversation with them. I love the relati......more

Goodreads review by Debra on February 22, 2021

This book was so much fun to listen to. With Ant and Dec narrating the audio book there really wasn't any other way I would read this to be honest. It just added a depth of sincerity, fun and what comes through both in the words spoken and in the way they are spoken that there is such a great friend......more

Goodreads review by Suzanne on May 16, 2021

If you are a fan of these two it's a great book. I've not read a book for a while where you feel like you are pretty much sat with the guys listening to them chat. It can only be read in your head with a broad Newcastle accent 😆. I enjoyed it, I watch most of their shows, I love their humour. It's g......more
