Summary
THE HILARIOUS AND HEARTWARMING SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Ant and Dec hold a special place in the hearts of TV viewers everywhere. This is their epic story, with never-before-seen photography and the very best tales from their 30 years in TV.
Ant: As the old Chinese proverb says, 'Good things come in pairs'.
Dec: And as another Chinese proverb says, 'If you've been in a double act with your best mate for thirty years, why not write a book about all your most memorable moments in three decades of showbusiness?'
Ant: Less catchy that one, isn't it?
Dec: But no less true. And after three decades together, we're writing that book. Covering everything from a pirate radio storyline in Byker Grove through to the biggest shows on telly, this is our story.
Ant: Thirty years, eh? Amazing.
Dec: Absolutely. Especially when you consider we are both still 27 years old.
From their modest beginnings in Byker Grove through to their "unique" time as pop stars and an award-laden TV career, the last three decades have flown by in the blink of an eye. They've also featured an incredible cast of supporting characters, including their first scriptwriter (an unknown comedian called David Walliams), Saturday night fun and games with countless Hollywood A-listers, and celebrities they torture - sorry, work with - every year in the jungle. Told through the lens of every TV show they've made, as well as everything they've learnt along the way, this is the riotously funny journey of two ordinary lads from Newcastle who went on to achieve extraordinary things.

Well, Thanks for that!!!!
My 1st audio book! & what a choice!!
The assumption that downloading an audio book to aid my sleepness nights went really well!
I, could not sleep!!
This book was fantastic, it made me giggle, it made me appreciate these two guys even more.
Having watched them both since Byker Grove, ( due to my kids & got me hooked) I, have been one of their fans for the 30 years, & this book hooked me straight away.
I, was sad when it finished (@ 3am) I wanted more.
Thank you Ant & Dec it was brilliant

Upbeat and lively narration
An enjoyable light hearted book by the Geordie pair. Typical Ant & Dec banter throughout which you wouldn’t get from reading the actual book. If you are a fan of these two you’ll enjoy this very much.

Wow
Still new to audiobooks especially with the authors reading them! These 2 literally took us on a journey with them, reacting and interacting throughout! Was great to here them talk about the last 30 years through their own mouth but also feel I got more than if I had just read the book!!!! Top notch just wish I had the link for the pictures in the book but that still won’t affect my experience!!! Loved it and can’t wait to listen again!!! Thank you ant and dec for your dedication and love back it makes it more special! Also as a footnote it was great going back as a pj and Duncan fan from their first meet on by byker Grove and watching and following every good and bad decision I love you, applaud you and respect you both so much xxxxx

A brilliant trip down memory lane.
Nostalgic, funny, heartwarming and a tale of true friendship. It's great to listen to them tell their story.

Brilliant
This is my first audio book and I really wanted to hear a book read by the authors. Well I am so glad I downloaded this for my walks. I’m a huge fan of Ant and Dec and they did not disappoint. I was laughing out loud listening to this. They bounce of each other and I found it more personal than reading their book as they read it to me. Excellent
