The official associate to the BBC's strike publication show, The One Show Book is a compilation of the quirkiest, strangest, most random and most fascinating stories pulled from the brains of Icon Films' The One Show research workplace. Did you know that Michael Jackson was once made an honorary director of Exeter City sports team? Or that Muhammad Ali owed a chunk of his bundle of money to his love of Ovaltine? Have you ever heard of Victorian jiu jitsu expert Edith Garrud, who joined up with forces with Emmeline Pankhurst and coined the word Suffrajitsu? Filled with facts and trivia nuggets, and ideal for lovers of basic knowledge and pub quizzers, the experiences in this reserve are distinctly United kingdom - a special event of ancient and contemporary United kingdom eccentricity, advancement, bravery and absolute chutzpah - and load up as much water-cooler punch as their filmed equivalents included in the show. With tales ranging from the inspiring to the downright bizarre, the reserve comprises 100 experiences that have managed to get to the screen within the last 10 years, boasting extra facts and numbers that fans won't want to miss.
