'Joyous, wise, reassuring and laugh-out-loud funny. I love these two women so much.' Elizabeth Day 'The two funniest women on planet earth right now.' Dolly Alderton 'I want to be Fi and Jane when I grow up.' Clare Balding 'A book like no other. Honest and very, very funny. Some bits made me want to cheer.' Sara Cox 'If you loved the late, great Victoria Wood, then you'll love Fi and Jane too.' Red magazine Award-winning broadcasters Fi Glover and Jane Garvey don't claim to have all the answers (what was the question?), but in these hilarious and perceptive essays they take modern life by its elasticated waist and give it a brisk going over with a stiff brush. They riff together on the chuff of life, from pet deaths to broadcasting hierarchies, via the importance of hair dye, the perils and pleasures of judging other women, and the perplexing overconfidence of chino-wearing middle-aged white men named Roger. Did I Say That Out Loud? covers essential life skills (never buy an acrylic jumper, always decline the offer of a limoncello), ponders the prudence of orgasm merchandise and suggests the disconcerting possibility that Christmas is a hereditary disease, passed down the maternal line. At a time of constant uncertainty, what we all need is the wisdom of two women who haven't got a clue what's going on either.
Eighteen episodes from Eric and Ernie's BBC Radio 2 comedy series, collected together for the very first time Between 1975 and 1978, when they were at the peak of their popularity on BBC TV, Morecambe and Wise also starred in their own radio series, with each episode scripted by the one and only Eddie Braben. This feast of gags, sketches and song and dance numbers - plus of course Ernie's 'plays what I wrote' - features a host of special guests including Ann Hamilton, Anita Harris, Gayle Hunnicutt, Richard Caldicot, Percy Edwards, Nicola Pagett, Brian Wilde, Des O'Connor, Vince Hill, Penelope Keith and The Nolan Sisters. So pull back the stage curtain and settle down to nine hours of sparkling comedy, in the company of 'the tall one with glasses' and 'the one with the short, fat, hairy legs'. Honestly, you can't see the join.
