*NARRATED BY BBC RADIO 1 PRESENTER, GREG JAMES*

A brilliantly warm-hearted celebration of the lost art of having fun


When Greg James was ten years old, his nylon shell suit-clad idols the Chuckle Brothers ('to me, to you') signed an autograph (from them, to him) with the message 'All the best for the future.’ It was a weirdly formal message for a kid. Ten-year-old Greg had no idea what the future held, no clue what was in store for him as he carried on through life. How could he? No one really knows what's coming. We all have big dreams and small ones, ideas about how we want our lives to pan out: when you'll get married, where you'll live, how many children you want, what you want to be when you grow up. We race through the milestones, desperate to unlock life's next level and before you know it, you’re a 'grown up'. That’s all well and good but have you remembered to have fun along the way?

Whether it's entertaining the nation with his hugely popular BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, writing big funny adventures for kids with his bestselling children's books, finding the joy in cricket and F1 in his podcasts Tailenders and The Fast and the Curious, or posting stupid videos of his adorable but quite thick dog Barney, Greg’s focus is to put a smile on people's faces because, let's face it, having fun is something we all forget to prioritise sometimes.

In All the Best for the Future, Greg looks at how he thought his life would go and shares the things that wind him up, make him sad, make him laugh and the little passions and interests that he relies on to get him through the day - whether it was a good one or a bad one. He tells us who he is, who he thought he'd be and who he still thinks he could be. Most of all though, his message for everyone is not to let go of that inner child as he navigates how to grow up without growing old. It’s possible to be fully functioning adults, with bills to pay and a dog to look after, and still find time to play with a train set...

About the Author :
Greg James likes to think of himself as a celebrated radio presenter, author and all-round light entertainer. If you have kids, they might have read one of his children’s books. Chances are either Kid Normal or The Twits Next Door as they’re the ones that sold well. If not, you might well have heard him on Radio 1 where he has been since 2007 and on the prestigious Breakfast show since 2018. He also pops up on Radio 4 when they have some space to fill with his archive show Rewinder. As well as all this and enjoying faffing about online and on the TV, he hosts many podcasts. Some might say too many. They include his pride and joy: the loosely cricket-based one, Tailenders. And in the summer of 2025, he was presented with an honorary doctorate by the University of York for his service to dead ducks. Dr Greg lives with his wife, Bella Mackie (a much more successful and talented author, but not yet a doctor), and their dog, Barney (not yet an author nor a doctor but it’s only a matter of time), in a house. GREG JAMES AND CHRIS SMITH are the multi-award-wining and bestselling authors of The Great Dream Robbery, Super Ghost and the Kid Normal series. They have been translated into over 20 languages and been shortlisted for both the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the Laugh Out Loud Award. Greg and Chris have championed children’s books widely, were judges for the Blue Peter Book Award in 2017 and were official World Book Day authors in 2020. They are also committed advocates for children’s literacy and are founding members of the Primary School Library Alliance – a campaign launched by Penguin Random House and the National Literacy Trust to address the lack of investment in UK primary school libraries – and were awarded in 2024 the Ruth Rendell Literacy Award, presented to those who have had the most significant influence on literacy in the UK over the past year, for their work promoting reading in schools. Outside of their writing partnership, Greg James is a radio and television broadcaster and Chris Smith a solo author of acclaimed children’s books Frankie Best Hates Quests and Clarity Jones and the Magical Detective Agency.
