Richard Whiteley Himoff! CASSETTE Audio Book  

Richard Whiteley Himoff! CASSETTE Audio Book


Richard Whiteley Himoff! 2 cassettes - abridged audio book


Reader: Richard Whiteley

"Boo, boo, boo boo boo boo boo boo boom!" That's what people sing whenever they see Richard Whiteley in the street. It's the theme to the popular afternoon television quiz Countdown--a programme that Whiteley has been presenting for 18 years. As Whiteley reveals in his book Himoff!--The Memoirs of a Matinee Idle, the tune was composed on the toilet, hence its "plippety plop nature". The book's title comes from something else that people forever come out with when they meet Whiteley: "Ooh look, it's himoff telly!" After almost two decades hosting Countdown on Channel 4 and 27 years reading the news on Yorkshire TV, Whiteley reckons to have made over 10,000 television appearances. More "mere musings" than an autobiography, Himoff! is a behind-the-scenes peek at a life spent in front of the lens.

For someone off the telly, Whiteley comes across as refreshingly down-to-earth and his recollections are peppered with self-deprecating anecdotes. Such as the time he was due to unveil a plaque to mark the opening of a community centre. Chuffed to bits at the thought of his name being immortalised, Whiteley kept badgering the organisers to make sure they spell it correctly. On the day of the unveiling an excited Whiteley pulled the cord. The velvet curtains parted to reveal the immortal words: "This extension was opened on 15th March 1994". Other stories included in this enjoyable lightweight read recall Whiteley being attacked by a ferret, saved from an IRA bomb by the offer of a glass of champagne, and almost being dumped from the programme that made him a household name.

We have a huge range of audio books, but if you can't find what you are looking for, please email us. We can obtain almost any audiobook title on CDcassette & MP3

The huge range of audio books on offer at Audio Books at Audio Book Bargains means that you are always guaranteed to find great audio books to listen to. Here we have cassettesCDs & MP3 audio books,  We have many, many authors that are hard to find in unabridged, cover to cover format. We have designed the site to make browsing for audio books as easy as possible.

Why listen to audio books?  In today's busy world, finding time to sit down to read for most people is very difficult. With audio books, "reading" can be done whilst driving, ironing, cooking, jogging. In fact just about at any time. Revisit some classics - Jane Eyre. Or listen to the latest Clive Cussler.

For children, audio books are a way to get children loving books from an early age. It is well known that children that read do better at school. When studying for GCSEs, many parents have realised how much listening to Of Mice and Men or To Kill a Mockingbird audio books can help in exam preparation. 

Of course people with visual impairment derive huge pleasure from audio books, but so too do people who do a large amount of travelling. Particularly drivers who cover large distances. Reading is of course not an option!
