The Golden Age of Children's TV

'The wisdom of Florence, the mystery of Dylan and the fun of Zebedee are combined in this hugely entertaining and charming book. Sincere love, detailed memory and deep knowledge make this dive into children's TV history truly joyful and satisfying'SAMIRA AHMED

'I love this book. It's important, invaluable and oddly emotional. Our favourites are there, of course, Bagpuss, Swap Shop, Play School, but Tim Worthington, with unabashed obsession, picks apart three decades of the nation's teatimes, Saturday mornings and long summer breaks'GRACE DENT

'Tim Worthington is the acknowledged master of this kind of entertaining but authoritative media scholarship'STUART MACONIE
