Evans’ TV Trivia

by JeffEvans (Author)

Synopsis

A glorious collection of obscure, bizarre and often frankly useless information about television. It includes facts, figures, lists (very important), quotes and momentous events from the world of television. A must for all telly anoraks and fans.

The book will include: items covering spin-offs from TV series, character catchphrases, award-winners, famous TV animals, Blue Peter presenters, entertainers discovered by Opportunity Knocks, great quotes about TV ,great TV moments and much more.

He rang his father and coolly announced that he was about to become a millionaire because he knew the answer to the question.

The great Homer Simpson once observed: `Television! Teacher, mother, secret lover', Evans' TV Trivia fulfills two of those three roles...
