Synopsis

The Worst Job in Britain is a primetime 6-part BBC 1 series presented by Jeremy Spake, whom we first met in the BBC series Airport. The first series, titled The Toughest Job in Britain, was broadcast in August and September of last year with ratings of around 6 million. Jeremy meets and works with people who have jobs that seem, to many of us, pretty damn awful. Jobs featured include a leech farmer, a sewer flusher, football manager and casualty nurse. One memorable episode featured a turkey farmer where Jeremy helps to artificially inseminate a turkey with a kind of sucking device...Written by Jeremy, the book will provide a humorous behind-the-scenes account of the people he meets, the dreadful jobs they do and the things they get up to, on and off camera.
