Synopsis

'A vivid, beautifully written and often moving book, skilfully dovetailing memoir, history, art and a cycling pilgrimage across Europe into a unique and uplifting whole. If you think you know who Timmy Mallett is, you're in for a rewarding surprise!' Proffesor Brain Cox
'A must read. This is a journey brimming with love and laughter that's also deeply moving. Timmy's glass isn't just half full, it's positively overflowing!' Lorraine Kelly
Timmy Mallett, host of Wacaday' has cheered millions of lives with his fantastic specs, vivacious personality and 'Utterly brilliant!' catchphrase.
In 2018 he certainly needed every bit of his natural exuberance: to honour his brother Martin, he cycled the El Camino de Santiago just as the 'Beast from the East' hit northern Europe.
Utterly Brilliant!: My Life's Journey is a moving autobiography of courage and determination in the face of heartache. With humour and honesty Timmy tells of his pilgrimage along a route travelled by so many over the centuries, weaving together history and personal stories in a hugely entertaining manner.
This is an autobiography that will be loved by Timmy's fans and enjoyed by those interested in discovering the human face behind a celebrity name, and those considering going on pilgrimage themselves. Full of heart and Timmy's characteristic charm, Utterly Brilliant will leave you uplifted and poignantly aware of how important it is to live every moment of every day.

Goodreads review by Steven on May 16, 2020

What a joy this book is in these uncertain times. Timmy tells the inspiring tale of his Camino in his unmistakable own words. The book is a wonderful combination of Camino diary, memoir and history. Some of the gear changes may be a little clunky, and some of the name drops a little tenuous - but an......more

Simply utterly brilliant A well worth read of the legendary Timmy Mallet on his pilgrimage bike trip from southern England to Northern Spain in honour of his passing of his Brother. The book is a mixture of his trip, his life story, and his days as a children's presenters on the tv show Wac a Day. I......more
