I Ordered This From Waterstones.

As you say: Each to their own.

I'll give it a miss.

I will join you in giving it a miss.

I used to watch it with my dad on a Saturday afternoon, Billy two Rivers and Ricky star and I think Jackie Pallo (had a ponytail if I remember rightly)
My parents had a guest house when I was a child and Mick McManus’s parents stayed there for a week 🤓

My ex MIL used to watch it avidly on a Saturday afternoon in the 1960s. It was her only bit of leisure (now known rather more egocentrically as "me time") and she looked forward to it immensely. I used to do her ironing every weekend, so I often watched it with her. As I recall, it was just a bit of amusing nonsense, nothing like the hyped-up sequinned uproar they televise now. Kent Walton commentated in an excruciating transatlantic accent. The boundary line between Good Guys and Bad Guys was always reinforced, and the baddies always lost. It probably wouldn't be popular now, with modern audiences baying for blood as though they're at the Roman games.

I used to watch with my grandad every Saturday afternoon giant Haystacks, kendoNagasa Zolton Boscik Billy 2 Rivers, Jacky Pallo, Big Daddy and then tag teams I used to love it, never watched since my grandad died when I was 16 though

This is the only Garfield for me

Why not order it from an independent bookshop?
