Bøger af Garry Bushell

Garry starting collecting TV bloopers more than 20 years ago, when his Bushell on the Box column was first published in The Sun. "To err is human", writes Garry, "but to really cock things up, you need a TV presenter!" Garry's Goofs are rooted in the traditional English love of the innuendo, in particular the unintentional double meaning. Whether it's the host of Antiques Roadshow telling the busty owner of two glass decanters "that's the nicest pair I've seen in ages!" or whether it's the witless presenter of Who Do You Think You Are asking a guest "did your great-grandfather have any children?"... you'll love 'em all! INNUENDO BONANZA contains more than 1,000 classic goofs, guaranteed to have you in stitches. Childish, maybe. Puerile, certainly. But very funny!

Britain's best-known TV critic has a love/hate relationship with our most loved, and most ridiculed soap opera. Having never missed an episode, Garry Bushell now brings devotees and detractors alike this hilarious guide to the cock-ups, continuity errors, character re-writes and ludicrous plot-lines that make up BBC TV's biggest show. This book is the perfect way to cheer up those who hate the soap - and to bring a smile to the lips of those who love it. It's guaranteed to deliver something even the Christmas Day EastEnders episode won't supply: laughs! 'A rollicking good read...it shines a light on the metaphorical castration of working class soap characters by BBC bigwigs who have never set foot in the East End' - SpikedOnLine 'Hilarious, spot on and brilliantly observed' - the Daily Star 'Really funny and genuinely insightful' - Brendan O'Neill

Riff-Raff, Rebels & Rock Gods chronicles the rise of the most exciting generation of British music and musicians the world has ever seen - before or since. In rapid succession came Ska, New Mod, anarcho-punk, Oi and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. A firestorm of incendiary music, created and performed by geniuses and madmen. What a time to be a music journalist! At the heart of this rock tsunami was SOUNDS magazine. And at the heart of SOUNDS was your narrator, Garry Bushell. Like his idols, Garry lived every day as if it was his last. Which it nearly was. Fed heroin in India by Hanoi Rocks . Going to chokey with the Angelic Upstarts. Getting his eyebrows shaved off by Ozzy Osbourne. All in a day's work for Garry. These were truly days of glory. The Specials. The Selecter. 2-Tone visionary Jerry Dammers. Garry was right there at ground zero. The Exploited. Twisted Sister. Rose Tattoo. Iron Maiden. A unique explosion of raw and exciting bands, giant characters and radical ideas. You'll meet them all. Riff-Raff, Rebels & Rock Gods is a brilliant new memoir from a leading rock journalist about the golden years of rock music: a unique moment when Rock Gods really did bestride the earth. Or thought they did.

Garry Bushell was there when the new era of British Heavy Metal kicked off and his essays from the front line convey the excitement and fervour with the arrival of bands like Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Rainbow, Saxon and Def Leopard. This is the first time these reports have been published in book form.

Face Down is the third instalment of the Harry Tyler pulp fiction trilogy. Book one, The Face, introduced undercover cop Harry Tyler and told how he brought down vicious South London crime family, the Bakers. The novel was a controversial success when it was published, selling out three editions and making front page news. The follow-up, Two-Faced saw detective turned renegade Harry escape a lonely death in Ireland after being set up by MI5. Face Down catches up with Harry in 2012. The fast-talking character is surviving on his wits in the North West of England until fate conspires to reunite him with villain John Baker, known as Johnny Too, released from jail early as bait for a serial killer. When an angry vigilante takes the law into his own hands the Kent police are stumped. But could the brutal serial killer be taking his cues from an outspoken rightwing newspaper columnist? Jailed South London crime lord Johnny Too agrees to be the bait to lure him into the open and end his reign of murder and terror. There's just one problem - he wants retired undercover detective Harry Tyler, the man who put him away, to be part of the plot. And Harry's dead. Isn't he?
