Born to a Polish Holocaust survivor father and a 1950s Kiwi tradwife too busy to police her viewing, Diana Wichtel cut her teeth on the Golden Age of television. At the Listener she became the country’s foremost television critic — loved and loathed. Meanwhile, television’s sometimes-pale imitation — her real life — was beginning to unreel. She discusses her brilliantly funny and achingly nostalgic memoir of a life spent watching and writing.
