THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Blockbusters, Baywatch … Mastermind, Moonlighting … Porridge, Parkinson … Peter Kay takes you on a journey into the wonders of TV –back to the days when Dusty Bin was a household name, Robin of Sherwood was a pin-up and the Brookside siege was the event of the year. For a young telly-loving Peter growing up in Bolton, TV meant Sunday bath nights with a black-and-white portable, the unbridled excitement of the new Christmas TV guide and his elderly neighbour’s inconvenient hearing problem.
Here, for the first time, he collects his TV memories and adventures together in this brilliant book. Join Peter as he finds success on the small screen, leaving his own unique footprint in the golden age of TV: from making tea at Granada Studios and marching along to ‘(Is This the Way to) Amarillo’ to hanging out in the Rovers Return, having run-ins with Bernard Manning and starring in possibly the worst Doctor Who episode of all time. You’ll go behind the scenes of the legendary Phoenix Nights, take The Road to Nowhere with Max & Paddy and discover how Peter created his BAFTA-winning performance in Car Share.
So sit back and enjoy a journey through the wonderful world of television. Endearing, sidesplittingly funny and utterly unforgettable – T.V. sees Peter Kay at his vivid, nostalgic and hilarious best.
Peter Kay’s book ‘T.V.’ was a No.2 Sunday Times bestseller w/c 25-09-2023.

It usually takes me about a year to read a book like this but this time it took me about two weeks. I could not put this book down.
by Darren Juggins
A warts and all trip through Peter’s TV career, his attention to detail and thought process that he puts in to everything is evident in the book….
It made me want to go find the show in question and watch it, it’s throughly entertaining and insightful.
Whilst he is now incredibly famous, the book shows that he was just a normal guy done good and it shows in the way he talks about himself and how he’s ensured he’s included all his friends along the way.
Well worth the purchase and read… if you love Peter Kay, you’ll love this book.
by Deborah Moore
I haven’t laughed so much when reading a book. Peter Kay takes you through his life so far on TV and even film. Who knew? From early doors in his numerous jobs to his rise to fame. He tells his story in usual Peter Kay fashion. A must for all his fans, you’ll love it
