Book description
The classic follow-up to A Bit of A Do, about the comedy of Yorkshire
life, told through seven more do's is now available in ebook format.
Life is still a social minefield in this small Yorkshire town. From the
opening of a vegetarian restaurant to the inauguration of the Outer
Inner Relief Ring Road, join Ted and Liz as they struggle through
another series of excruciatingly funny 'do's' in this sequel to A BIT OF
A DO.
Can Ted find happiness with a waitress, now that he and Liz are no
longer an item? Can Liz bring comfort to the grieving Neville, her
strangely immaculate second husband?
Above all, how will Ted's ex-wife Rita manage as her family becomes
more dysfunctional at every function? Can she possibly be as happy as
she seems? Praise for THE FALL AND RISE OF GORDON COPPINGER:
'Pitch-perfect comedy, terrific social satire, excellent writing and a
regular supply of cracking jokes - this is David Nobbs on superb form.'
