Not In Front Of The Children

Oh boy, did I pick up the wrong book. I was looking for an interesting, nostalgic bit of fun showing how Bagpuss or Parsley the Lion had hidden agendas or deeper meanings, I expected Magic Roundabout to fill a few chapters on the misuse of drugs or the misuse of dubbing. I expected to see Scooby Snacks mentions heavily. But alas it was not to be. This is a serious book,  a dry analysis of social, economical and political change in post-war Britain. I will add that the book is researched and well written, but it verges on boring and I found it very hard going.
