Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at a book by the most popular double act in television.

Once Upon A Tyne   (2021)

Ant McPartlin & Declan Donnelly

Synopsis

Complete with Christmassy gold cover, this is the perfect uplifting gift for Ant and Dec fans. (P.S. it’s a little known fact that you can give gifts to yourself, too. Go on, treat yourself!)

Told through the lens of every TV show Ant and Dec have made, this is the riotously funny journey of two ordinary lads from Newcastle who have gone on to achieve extraordinary things.

From their modest beginnings in Byker Grove through to their “unique” time as pop stars and an award-laden TV career, Ant and Dec are surely the most loveable double act on our small screens. With more laugh out loud moments than you can count, ONCE UPON A TYNE includes behind-the-scenes stories about their first scriptwriter (an unknown comedian called David Walliams), Saturday night fun and games with countless Hollywood A-listers, and celebrities they torture – sorry, work with – every year in the jungle.

Positive Points

This is the second book by the georgdie duo and even though I read their first one, this book feels completely fresh and completley new. There are lots of anecdotes about different areas of their career starting right from the beginning in Byker Grove all the way up to I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Unlike their first book, this one has also quotes from celebrities that have worked with them throughout their career.

Negative Points

There were some chapters that I felt that were not needed for example like the one all about the royal family. It could be because I was not interested but I also felt it was a chapter that could of been missed.

Overall Review

This is a good book if you are interested in the world of Ant and Dec, it is in depth and take you on a fun journey with lots of photographs on the way. There are lots of fun stories that you can read and you will enjoy it if you have an interested in British television.
