I’m glad I kept going

I love Peter Kay, however felt in places that this audiobook was just a regurgitation of clips that I’d heard many times. I put it down for a few weeks but glad I went back. The stories about Ronnie Barker and the many insights into his writing process were captivating.

Fantastic book

Loved this from start to finish.
Brilliantly read by Peter. To hear about his life on television was so interesting.
I think I need to know how many times he says ‘it’s a honour’ during the book. 😂
Hearing about his admiration for Ronnie Barker to Car Share winning awards.
Peter really has told his story of on TV

Interesting

A really interesting history of Peter Kay’s tv career. This is the second book I have listened to of his, clever to have a book focussed on each of the sections of his career

a very funny tale

very well read and a lift in life's dull monotonous grind after the Christmas break, the man is a comic genius and it was a thrill to hear his raise to fame and the journey he took, loved every minute.

Peter Kay’s life in TV

I absolutely loved the audio pulled from all of his appearances over the years, the inclusion of music from the TV shows was an added bonus and it was wonderful to hear Peters asides during the recording! Belly Laughs throughout what a wonderful career.
