"AT LAST, WE'VE GOT WHAT WE ALWAYS WANTED ..." a definitive history of British Breakfast television - written by one of our very own here at TV Cream.

MORNING GLORY: A History of British Breakfast Television has just been published by those excellent people at Kelly Books (we believe they might have even met Tony Currie once) and to celebrate that exciting fact, we're making available for download a very special 'extra' chapter written for us by author Ian Jones.

Available in PDF format, this new addition has been page-set by the publishers to match the rest of the book, and features behind-the-scenes style snippets, and bits they couldn't possibly put in the published version ...

... Bits from the likes of Greg Dyke, John Stapleton, Paddy Haycocks and Peter McHugh such as:

"There are some wonderful women here, and I'm relying on you to tell me which of them fuck."

“A man whose grave I would happily dance on."

“I quite liked him in later years, but I always thought he was bullshit.”

If that doesn't tempt you to start that download now, there's a big-head-on-little-body style caricature of Greg Dyke looking befuddled to go along with it!
