Read excerpt
Lee Mack’s brilliant sitcom Not Going Out is celebrating its 20th birthday. So it’s incredible to think the BBC once axed it, back in 2009, after only three series. Less surprising is how they were forced into a climbdown – by furious fans. But then you underestimate people power at your peril, as Mike Ward reminds us here with 20 further examples… 1.

Read excerpt
So we're being taken back to the 1970s, are we? That's what critics are saying about life under new Prime Minister Andy Burnham. They’re saying it’ll be grim, that it was a terrible decade: recession, rampant inflation, endless strikes, etc. Figuring we may as well look on the bright side, Mike Ward has found us 20 reasons why the 1970s were actually fun — if a bit weird… Everyone watched the same shows With only three channels, telly favourites were much the same in homes all over Britain.
