Publisher's Summary

Immerse yourself in the '80s, where Thursday meant Top of the Pops, Sunday meant taping The Top 40, and photos took two weeks to develop....

Thirty-somethings Tash and her brother Jamie didn’t mean to time travel back to October 1984, but bizarrely, they did, on the very day that Bob Geldof watched the BBC news report which moved him to form Band Aid and record “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” Except their arrival caused him to miss it. So because of them, there’ll be no Band Aid, no "USA for Africa", and no "Live Aid".

Jamie wants to find Bob and put things right. Tash wants to go straight back to the 21st century - she has a 5-month-old baby waiting for her.

What would YOU do? Go to your baby or feed a million others?

James Crookes has been writing comedy for TV and radio for over 20 years. He has contributed to shows on BBC One, CBBC, and CBeebies, along with producing and co-presenting the Bauer Radio breakfast show, Big John @ Breakfast, since 2004.

NOTE: Tash is a lovely lady, but like many adults, does sometimes rely on the "F-word" when she's flustered. Please consider this if easily offended or listening in the car.
