All six episodes from the first season of the comedy drama
following three 20-something female graduates as they attempt to
navigate their way through life. Having just graduated from
university, friends Meg (Jessica Knappett), Bunny (Lydia Rose
Bewley) and Laura (Lauren O'Rourke) find themselves exposed to life
in the real world for the first time as they try to earn a living
by taking on a number of lowly jobs in their home city of Leeds.
The episodes are: 'Home', 'Scabies', 'Work Experience', 'Dry Run',
'Friend Night Stand' and 'Nineties Night'.
The number one bestseller and Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year
by national treasure Bob Mortimer.'The most life-affirming, joyful
read of the year' - Sunday Times 'Winningly heartfelt' - The
Guardian 'A triumph' - Daily Mail Bob Mortimer's life was trundling
along happily until suddenly in 2015 he was diagnosed with a heart
condition that required immediate surgery and forced him to cancel
an upcoming tour. The episode unnerved him, but forced him to
reflect on his life so far. This is the framework for his hilarious
and moving memoir, And Away... Although his childhood in
Middlesbrough was normal on the surface, it was tinged by the loss
of his dad, and his own various misadventures (now infamous from
his appearances on Would I Lie to You?), from burning down the
family home to starting a short-lived punk band called Dog Dirt. As
an adult, he trained as a solicitor and moved to London. Though he
was doing pretty well (the South London Press once crowned him 'The
Cockroach King' after a successful verdict), a chance encounter in
a pub in the 1980s with a young comedian going by the name Vic
Reeves set his life on a different track. And now, six years on,
the heart condition that once threatened his career has instead led
to new success on BBC2's Gone Fishing. Warm, profound, and
irrepressibly funny, And Away... is Bob's full life story (with a
few lies thrown in for good measure.)
'Funny, clever and sweet... there is a lot of Mortimer's
ridiculousness' - Sunday Times 'The much loved comic proves adept
at noirish fiction in a debut whose surrealist humour sets it
apart' - Observer 'Like Spike Milligan, Mortimer has managed to use
a novel for his distinctive comedic voice' - The Telegraph My name
is Gary. I'm a thirty-year-old legal assistant with a firm of
solicitors in London. To describe me as anonymous would be unfair
but to notice me other than in passing would be a rarity. I did
make a good connection with a girl, but that blew up in my face and
smacked my arse with a fish slice. Gary Thorn goes for a pint with
a work acquaintance called Brendan. When Brendan leaves early, Gary
meets a girl in the pub. He doesn't catch her name, but falls for
her anyway. When she suddenly disappears without saying goodbye,
all Gary has to remember her by is the book she was reading: The
Satsuma Complex. But when Brendan goes missing, Gary needs to track
down the girl he now calls Satsuma to get some answers. And so
begins Gary's quest, through the estates and pie shops of South
London, to finally bring some love and excitement into his
unremarkable life... A page-turning story with a cast of
unforgettable characters, The Satsuma Complex is the brilliantly
funny first novel by bestselling author and comedian Bob Mortimer.

The Sunday Times bestseller Two comedy greats talk life, friendship
and the joys of fishing... Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have
been friends for 30 years, but when life intervened, what was once
a joyous and spontaneous friendship dwindled to the odd phone call
or occasional catch up. Then, Glory Be! They were both diagnosed
with heart disease and realised that time is short. They'd better
spend it fishing... So they dusted off their kits, chucked on their
waders and ventured into the achingly beautiful British countryside
to fish, rediscover the joys of their friendship and ruminate on
some of life's most profound questions, such as: How did we get so
old? Where are all the fish? What are your favourite pocket meats?
What should we do if we find a corpse? Following the success of the
BBC's Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing series, this
wonderful book by two lifelong friends is a love letter to the joys
of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having a
right daft laff with your mates. On the fish, the equipment, the
food, and the locations, Gone Fishing is the perfect book for fans
of Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and for anyone who wants to read a
brilliantly written and endlessly funny joint memoir on life,
friendship and joys of fishing.
But, as in the podcast, they got a bit side-tracked - as well as
bringing you some (more or less) completely genuine football facts,
Bob and Andy speculate about the lifestyle of baked bean-loving,
yellow snake-owning ex-England boss Steve McClaren, and investigate
the 'Gangs of the EPL', where football meets infantile bullying.
There's also input from the Secret Soccer Superstar - a former
player who lifts the lid on what it's really like to be a top, top
pro - and the lyrics from some of Bob's most memorable Scottish
songs, so that you can sing them to your children, elderly
relatives or, indeed, yourself, should you need to be soothed after
learning about Robson Green's Extreme Bangers. In summary, it's a
bit of a mess - but - it's a beautiful, glorious, hilarious
mess...and if you're not reduced to at least one convulsion while
reading it, Bob and Andy are going to be very disappointed with
you. In fact, they might come round to your house and force you to
KISS THE ALDERMAN.

ONE MAN leading ONE FAMILY across ONE NATION with ONE ARM sharing
ONE MESSAGE Life is a journey... Hope and Courage Across America
set out with a simple message. Our hope is in Christ and the
courage is in us to use that hope to face the mountains in front of
us. Along the way, Bob and his family not only share the
message...they learn it. "I pedaled my handcycle away from the dock
and toward Lady Liberty. We stopped at the base of the statue. We
had made it. Our bikes had carried us over Snoqualmie Pass and the
struggle of that first mountain and through the snowstorms and
rattlesnakes of Montana. We raced ahead of dogs crossing the
prairies of North Dakota and lingered on the Amish farms of the
Midwest. We rolled up and down the hills of Pennsylvania and
finally through the city streets of New York. Hope and Courage
Across America could pedal no further." Hope and Courage Across
America tells the story of one family's journey from Gig Harbor,
Washington to the Statue of Liberty on bicycles. Along the way, Bob
Mortimer revisitss the other roads of his life that brought him
through losing three limbs to becoming truly whole...the journey
never ends.

All six episodes from the first series of the surreal BBC dark
comedy, written by and starring Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. Chris
(Reeves) and Carl (Mortimer) are two estranged brothers who have
not seen each other for 15 years, but who join up out of Carl's
desperation to find his missing son. Heading towards the town of
Catterick, the last place he was seen, the two brothers begin a
nightmarish journey on the margins of contemporary Britain. On the
way they meet a sinister B & B proprietor (Matt Lucas), a
psychotic mass murderer, and become involved in an ongoing police
investigation into a shooting at a car dealership.
Christian Slater and Neve Campbell star alongside British comedians
Harry Enfield, Rik Mayall, Bob Mortimer, Vic Reeves, Mackenzie
Crook, Ronni Ancona and Sally Phillips in this comedy spoof about
Winston Churchill. American movie moguls are producing a movie
about World War II. Following the first day of shooting, an
ambitious executive discovers that their 'lead' is an old guy with
a cigar, so they decide to replace him with a far more sellable
leading man: the star of their most recent film - the tactfully
entitled 'PUMP!' Anthony Sher and Miranda Richardson make an
appearance as Adolf Hitler and his fated lover, Eva Braun.
