Book Synopsis

Were the 70s and 80s all they were cracked up to be? Or have we never had it so good? Philip Glenister - one of our best-loved actors - takes a swig of Babycham, jumps on his space hopper, and heads off down memory lane to find out.

Which Bond was better - Roger Moore or Daniel Craig? Was life better when we were served lashings of gravy, instead of a ''drizzle of jus''? And - most important of all - have Curly Wurlys really got smaller, or have we all just got bigger?

Philip Glenister''s Things Ain''t What They Used to Be is a hilarious and affectionate look at the good, the bad and the ugly from three very different decades, that will have you laughing (and cringing) with recognition. If you''re going on a nostalgia trip, you couldn''t ask for a better guide.
