It was the author's few years as a proud member of the Nottingham City Police Force which left him with the majority of the hilarious stories which open this book.  Whether he's trying to keep the Beatles in their dressing room or being peed on by a famous British footballer, there's never a dull moment in that section.The rest of the book is his take on the boom in moronic, untalented "celebrities" and their over-the-top lifestyles.  I gave up watching TV years ago, but I suspect that his claim that reality shows "have done for television programming what the atomic bomb did for Hiroshima" is spot on. Overall, a well-written and entertaining book.(His story about riding in the Black Maria with one of the Great Train Robbers reminded me of  the wonderful book SLIP UP which tells about the crime itself and the capture, escape, re-capture, and re-escape of kingpin Ronnie Briggs.  It's available on Kindle and is a fantastic read.)
