“Thirty years later, the show is still running in over thirty countries!” says Hodge. “Being involved has been such an experience, from the filming of the show itself, all the way to travels across the world to make personal appearances for those who embrace its nostalgia. This book is just for them – a treasure trove of facts and truths that have never before been made public!”

Continuing, “There’s a foreword from my good friend, Richard E. Grant, and plenty of other stars who pop up in the most unexpected of places. It just goes to show the longevity of the British sitcom; three decades later, people are still splitting at the sides from an idea Jeremy Lloyd David Croft had all those years ago.”
