Join the family Trotter with their get-rich-quick scheming and back-of-a-lorry sales pitch. The Rothschilds of Peckham, otherwise known as Trotter's Independent Traders (or TIT for short) cause untold trouble - and laughs - in their bid to become millionaires. This collection covers the first five series of the hilarious BBC sitcom and contains specially-written, original material, including the Trotter Dictionary, Rodney's CV and the Trotter Guide to Seduction. The Bible of Peckham was a Christmas bestseller in hardback, and is now available for the first time in paperback.

Reviews

a rather elegant overview of Eighties British TV comedy… If you have any interest in comedy, you will love this book … [Roberts’] research has been assiduous, his judgments are sound and his puppyish enthusiasm encouraged his interviewees to give their best. Unlike Baldrick’s cunning plans, this one seems to have worked

—— Marcus Berkman , Daily Mail

This really is the full history… for true buffs, this is not to be missed

—— Press Association

lively, warm-hearted

—— TLS

The True History of the Black Adder is a brilliant read for any fan of Edmund Blackadder, as well as a great introduction into the history of the contemporary comedy scene

—— BookGeeks

An almost perfect history of the greatest British sitcom there has ever been

—— comedy.co.uk

fascinating cultural and social background to the series, the history of its creation and an overview of how the characters evolved over four series.

—— Lep.co.uk

Hornby's portrayal of four characters who accidentally meet on top of a tower block, all ready to jump to their death on New Year's Eve, manages to be sensitive and empathetic, but damn funny as well. My new Hornby favourite

—— Adam Phillips , Observer

Brilliant, smart and funny . . . a cello suite about how to go on living. It's hard to imagine a novel more darkly and sublimely devoted to life

—— Boston Globe

Generous and wise. Right from the opening pages, a smile played continually across my face

—— GQ
