Glenister takes the reader on a personal journey through the 70s and 80s, comparing them to how we live today. Were things really so much better then, or should we throw away the rose-tinted spectacles? Pondering such vital questions as 'Which decade had the best car' and 'How heavy were the original mobile phones', Glenister reveals himself to be a witty, warm and perceptive observer of life, as well as the star of shows such as "Life On Mars" and "Ashes To Ashes".
