About this deal

Josh Widdecombe seems like a thoroughly decent bloke and all-round ‘good egg’, so I feel slightly sheepish having to slate his book. But, unfortunately, “Watching Neighbours twice a day” is a pointless, vacuous exercise in lame nostalgia that has nothing original to say about its chosen subject of 1990s British Television.

This is a book about growing up in the '90s told through the thing that mattered most to me, the television programmes I watched. For my generation television was the one thing that united everyone. There were kids at my school who liked bands, kids who liked football and one weird kid who liked the French sport of petanque , however, we all loved Gladiators , Neighbours and Pebble Mill with Alan Titchmarsh (possibly not the third of these).'

This isn’t disability sport to be patronised, it’s elite competition between athletes who’ve spent years busting their arse to get here. The Last Leg is us shining a spotlight on them. They’re the stars here.” But we are really good friends and we get on and we laugh about it. Basically, no one knows how to parent – we are all just doing our best. It's quite fun that two people who do it so differently get on, and can wind each other up about it." JW: In terms of mental health and speaking about stuff, this has unknowingly really helped me deal with the last year. It is so useful to talk about these things. It’s provided an outlet and, I think, for listeners it’s the same. Considering that comedian Widdecombe and myself are practically same age, it stands to reason that we both watched the same programmes growing up during the 90's.
