Something Sensational to Read on the Train takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride from the era of Dixon of Dock Green to the age of The X Factor, from the end of the farthing to the arrival of the euro, from the Britain of Harold Macmillan and the Notting Hill race riots to the world of Barack Obama and Lewis Hamilton. With a cast list that runs from Richard Nixon and Richard Branson to Gordon Brown and David Cameron and includes princes, presidents and pop stars, as well as three archbishops and any number of actresses this is a book for anyone interested in contemporary history, politics and entertainment, royalty, gossip and life itself.
