BAFTA Television awards 2014: Richard Ayoade with the BAFTA for Male Performance in a Comedy Programme". Digital Spy . Retrieved 7 September 2014. For whatever reason (perhaps the same reason that sometimes The Wiggles’ sole line of “fruit salad, yummy yummy”, will course through my mind while I’m in a Professional Business Meeting, or 26m below the Java Sea, or mid-coitus, or any other yummy yummy fruit salad-absent scenario), scenes from Top have followed me ever since that fateful summer.

Then just when I was at my lowest ebb, there would be an Alan Partridge-esque gem that I couldn't help smiling at: I deludedly thought I was buying this book for my partner. After seeing Richard Ayoade on Graham Norton and giggling hysterically, I learned he had written a book about maybe the worst film ever made, starring the inimitable hawker of vaginal eggs (see below) and ridiculous smelling candles: Gwyneth Paltrow. As my partner, has an advanced degree in film making, among others, i thought - Perfect Gift!

It’s after about 67 Gwenyth in Paris mental appearances that I come across Richard Ayoade and become a fan. I have absolutely no reason to think the two would ever cross paths. Yet lo and behold, around the 140th time I think of Gwenyth in Paris, the two worlds meet, and in long form no less. Ayoade has written an entire book on an average but lowkey charming VCD movie I watched one time but couldn’t quite forget. Of course he has.

The only faults I saw in this book was I didn't get a lot of the references to celebrities enough to enjoy the joke to it's full capability and I wish the middle portion was more like the 'Interview' with himself section as they were definitely my favourite parts. The middle was definitely blander in comparison with the rest. Also, I don't know how much to believe... xD
