'It's well worth rewinding Tapehead. He loves to hate television and he hates to love it. The funniest, most acerbic critic of the small screen writing in Britain today.'

Synopsis:
Jim Shelley loves television. His devotion is not to the programmes that are watched by late night audiences, but to the blockbusters beloved by millions. Usually he is indulgent towards the object of his affections and forgiving when it is slipshod and self-regarding. Yet, like any other lover, there are times when the relationship becomes dull and predictable, and when his irritation boils over into anger. In this work, the very best of Jim Shelley's television criticism is combined, for the first time, with the reactions of his devoted readers, whose emails and letters provide an often scathing running commentary on what he has written. Taken together, they provide a scabrous and darkly amusing commentary on the nation's viewing habits.
