About the Author
Tom Binns has been chasing the spotlight since he was a young boy - and he's not done badly. He's appeared on the Alan Partridge show and Crossroads (!), he's written for talents as diverse as Lily Savage and Chris Evans and his latest claim to fame was playing Jamie Oliver's fictitious brother-in-law in one of those commercials. A true connoisseur of the Fame Game, this is his first book.

Customer Reviews

Should read his own book
A very slow, plodding guide presumably written by Mr Binns in-betweenmoments when he was being funny...
Actually, I worked with Tom and he awarded me a small trophy engraved with"Best Comedy Sidekick 1997", so I'd better stop lying about his book whichactually is rather good.
So buy it, dear reader, and then Tom can feel more successful about hiscareer and spread the love around by getting off his arse and sending methe occassional Christmas card. A signed copy (rescued from the pulpingmachine I imagine) wouldn't go amiss too.
