Credits Gag: The sixth episode both does and doesn't do one of these. As Dave Gorman both wrote and presented the show, had one of the other Dave Gormans (#5, from Edinburgh; also known as "Little Dave") be his assistant and had two other Gormans and someone called Dave G urman as special guests, the opening few entries have his name rightfully repeated, albeit with their birth names as aliases for the two who changed their name via Deed Poll.

Although it may seem confusing to have two sides of the same story in one book, it surprises with clarity. Imagine a conversation over a pub lunch with two guys about their latest exploits, one remembering it slightly differently to the other; it is rather similar to that. Dave's optimism and relentless drive is effectively counterpointed by Danny's dry wit and sardonic observation of the ridiculousness of the whole affair.

The rest, to coin a cliché, is history. If you ask me what my favour book is, I would say this, no other book in my lifetime has resonated with me in such a way. So after years of pronouncing it my favourite books in polite conversation I decided to revisit it more than 15 years later. I can say with out reservation this is still my favourite book of all time. I don't think I have laugh so much reading a book.
