to see the movie.” – Barbara Windsor. “Garry Bushell is a
psychopath” – The Observer. “Outrageous opinions, scorching
insults” – The Independent. “Naughty, funny, classy –
a must read.” – David Courtney. “Extremely funny, buy this

STOP Press. March 31 2009. Southampton Council has finally given the go-ahead to the erection of the Benny Hill statue that I've been campaigning for. Serious fundraising starts now! Events tba.

Graham’s other statues include Morecambe & Wise and the late great Les Dawson.

‘Your Generation’, my book on British Youth Cults, is currently on hold but should finally be published in 2010.
This book was part-serialised in Sounds 25 years ago and tells
the story of 2-Tone, Oi, New Mod, punk, anarcho-punk, Casual the New Romantics etc. Click
on ‘The Story Of Oi’ for a taster – an in-depth retrospective
look at the influential British Streetpunk scene of the late '70s. ‘Mod
Squad’ reproduces a couple of articles I wrote back in 1979 on the Mod
renewal. If I ever get five minutes I'll add memories of my time on the road
with the 2-Tone bands and the NWOBHM too. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Best of Bushell On The Box, loosely based on my ITV shows, is out now on DVD. ("The first 25 minutes are OK," - Ally Ross, The Sun). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * What does Bushell stand for? The Oxford English Dictionary provides these handy definitions: bushel, n, a measure of capacity for corn, fruit, liquids, etc. (Brit, 8 gallons; US, 64 US pints). bushell, v, 1) to agitate, titillate, question, provoke, amuse, mock, taunt, quip or rant. 2) to puncture the pompous. 3) to actively promote loud and raucous guitar and ska-based music (see racket) or to gonad. 4) to advocate patriotic liberation – an English parliament for English voters in an independent UK. 5) to oppose the European Union, Blairism, big government, over-taxation and all forms of bureaucracy and liberal self-loathing. 6) to celebrate the female form in all its glory. 7) to imbibe strong ales. 8) to reject the bourgeois and denigrate the mindlessly fashionable. 9) to be proud of working class origins and achievements. 10) to fight for the right of British people to treasure and build on our culture, customs, history and traditions - including self-rule and self-preservation. Bushell, n, (archaic) a man who is irresistible to women; this usage only found in myth and legend. bushfire, n, a fire in a forest, scrub or beard often spreading widely. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bushell On The Box stands proudly on its reputation for cutting up rough, making a fuss, having a laugh, having a say, being chippier than Harry Ramsden's, and generally pissing on the electric fence of destiny. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THANKS to all who supported the campaign for a Laurel Aitken memorial - a blue plaque was erected on the great man's old council house in April 2007. A plaque for Keith Moon was erected in Wardour Street on the site of the old Marquee club on March 8th 2008.
