His best mates as a kid. Where are they now?<i>Who</i>are they now? And how are<i>they</i>coping with being grown-up too?</p><p>And so begins a journey from A-Z, tracking down and meeting his old gang. He travels from Berlin to Tokyo, from Sydney to LA. He even goes to Loughborough. He meets Fijian chiefs. German rappers. Some ninjas. And a carvery manager who's managed to solve time travel. But how will they respond to a man they haven't seen in twenty years, turning up and asking if they're coming out to play?</p><p>Part-comedy, part-travelogue, part-memoir,<i>Friends Like These</i>is the story of what can happen when you track down your past, and of where the friendships you thought you'd outgrown can take you today...</p>
