Very little mention of his time in the Big Brother house, nor his time spent on the Sky One show Brainiac or his career as a physicist. Although Hargreaves wrote many other children's stories, including the Timbuctoo series of twenty-five books, John Mouse, and the Roundy and Squary books, he is best known for his 46 Mr. I expect to hear soon of Mr Tickle joining Dave Lee Travis and Stuart Hall in the dock of the Crown Court, while the Hitchcock-like twist at the end can be seen as a warning to the present-day government to avoid tinkering with the Probation Services.The Green Transition Weekly analysis of the shift to a new economy from the New Statesman's Spotlight on Policy team.
