Griff Rhys Jones takes a trip through his golden age - back to a childhood in the sixties and seventies - by car, by bus, by bicycle, but mostly on foot. Semi-detached Griff relives freezing bus journeys to school and the spontaneous theft of that half-a-crown from Charlie Hume's money box; sitting outside Butlins at Clacton (longing to be inside and on the Waltzer instead of stranded on the pebbles with his dad); hazy summer afternoons spent with feral gangs in the woods, or storming the mudflats while singing extracts from the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. From birth to the BBC, this is a story of a confident middle child.
