Book details

Book description

We all know about the jungle of 'dating.' But once you've found your 'special' friend you'll have to pretend you like their taste in music, be nice to their mother and pick up their socks, and that's only year one. By the time you get into grumpy old middle-aged land, you're firmly on farting terms and over-familiarity has bedded in. The only thing to do with the whole business is to laugh over it, which is the idea of this book. Judith Holder has a distinguished career in television having produced some of the funniest people in the business including Clive James, Billy Connolly, Dame Edna Everage, Victoria Wood and Lenny Henry. She has also written her own comedy pieces which she has performed on Woman's Hour and Home Truths. She is currently Head of Features at Liberty Bell Productions. Jenny Eclair was the first female winner of the Edinburgh Festival's Perrier Comedy Award in 1995. She now presents a weekend talk show on LBC and regularly appears on Radio 4's Just a Minute quiz. She has appeared on BBC2's Grumpy Old Women, and starred in the sell-out stage-show Grumpy Old Women Live co-written with Judith Holder.
