We spend a third of our lives working. So how does it feel to have a job that doesn’t seem like work!? Utterly brilliant! is how one of Nick’s favourite presenters would describe it and so would he! 45 years having fun with a host of well known (and not so well known!) performers, presenters, actors, animals and characters! From Peppa Pig to Pete Waterman, David Frost to Timmy Mallet. The list is long dotted with Pop icons like Kylie Minogue and Jason Orange, illuminated by wonderful actors like Tom Baker, David Jason and Jane Horrocks, graced by royalty and parliamentarians like Prince Edward and Harriet Harman and animated by Peppa, Noddy, Fifi, Rupert, Thomas and more. The chances are you or your children will have seen a programme Nick was involved in, as a director, writer, producer, commissioning editor or creator. Maybe one of these: Playschool Saturday Superstore Wide Awake Club Dapple Down Farm Chatterhappy Ponies The Tribe Milkshake Peppa Pig …the list goes on… and what goes on behind the programmes is the core of this book. Some of it is cosy some of it controversial. It’s not Childs play! Behind the scenes Children’s TV is a very grown up place with its fair share of heroes, villains, movers and shakers! And a sprinkling of creative geniuses. They are all in this book. Which one is Nick? You decide!
