Book Description: Compiled by acclaimed television scriptwriter and novelist Dean Wilkinson, The Classic Children’s Television Quiz Book is packed with fascinating facts about the shows you loved as a child as well as those programmes currently capturing the imagination of today’s young audiences.
From timeless classics like Thunderbirds, Blue Peter and Dr Who to the thoroughly up-to-date Sponge Bob, the 1,000 questions in this book will not only test your memory of the characters you grew up with but your family’s knowledge of their current favourites.
With a fitting foreword by popular family TV presenters Ant and Dec this book is sure to prove a hit with television lovers of all ages and, in particular, those members of the older generation who have remained young at heart.

About the Author: Dean Wilkinson began writing comedy in children’s comics which saw him publish his own title Fizog which lasted a staggering 3 issues. He turned his attention to children’s television and went on to pen episodes and sketches for many shows including The Big Breakfast, Zig & Zag, Byker Grove, Timmy Towers, Comic Relief, Harry Hill’s Shark Infested Custard, Planet Sketch, to name a few. For many years he was Ant and Dec’s writer scripting the multi award winning SMTV Live and Chums. He is also creator and writer of CBBC TV’s Bad Penny and the smash hit sketch show Stupid. Dean lives on Teesside in the north of England with his wife and daughters.
