'I squealed laughing at this but now worry that my knowledge of
history has been dangerously ruined' Matt Forde A fascinating and
hilarious gallop through twentieth-century British history, by
comedian Al Murray. An awful lot has happened in the last 100 years
or so. In fact, when you look at how much went on in the 20th
century, it's amazing it didn't take longer than that. And what
have we learnt? A few obvious lessons include: megalomaniac men
with moustaches in charge of countries tend to turn out to be BAD;
anyone who thinks they can explain let alone sort out the Middle
East is WRONG; France simply cannot be relied upon; America may or
may not be the cause of everything GOOD and BAD in the world
(depending on who you ask). This isn't your bog-standard history
book. We all know that history books (Which Shall Not be Questioned
because they ARE ALL TRUE according to our History Teachers of
Yore) are dry and dull, and they go on as if there's only ONE
version of history (spoiler: it's all about perspective). Enter Al
Murray, alter-ego of everyone's favourite Pub Landlord. Al knows
his way around 20th century Britain, and he's good enough to
illuminate it for you. From the Big Bang of the 20th Century,
DOUBLEYOUDOUBLEYOU ONE, to the eve of the new Millennium (when all
the computers in the World DIDN'T stop working and the Queen had to
do the Hokey Cokey with Tony Blair) and all the forgotten tales in
between, this is a brilliantly funny, irreverent and eye-opening
whistle-stop tour of Britain since 1914.
