This anthology showcases the very best in humorous short story
writing, by outstanding contemporary female writers,
including Kathy Lette, Sadia Azmat, Lucy
Vine, Josie Long, Paula Lennon, and many more. It
includes the winning and shortlisted stories from the Comedy Women
in Print Short Story Prize. From tales of a narcoleptic biscuit
lover, con artists with a twist, and the accidental death of a
hamster; to consequences of accidental gluing, the imagined world
of extreme shopping, and the delightfully surreal world of canine
dating, these 15 boldly imaginative stories range across a
multitude of genres and themes. Each proves the power of the short
story to disarm, tickle, entertain, or simply reduce you to
helpless piles of laughter!
Three special episodes of Jennifer Saunder's sitcom marking the
20th anniversary since the series began. Saunders stars as Edina
'Eddie' Monsoon, a PR company owner who continually behaves like a
teenager, while her daughter, Saffron (Julia Sawalha), is mature
beyond her years. Eddie's best friend is aging former model Patsy
Stone (Joanna Lumley) who drinks and smokes non-stop. June
Whitfield also stars as Eddie's elderly mother and Jane Horrocks
plays Eddie's ditsy personal assistant, Bubbles. In 'Identity'
Patsy comes face-to-face with her drug dealer who she owes
thousands of pounds. Eddie tries to help her come up with the money
but Patsy may have to reveal her true age in the process. In 'Job'
Eddie arranges for French actress Jeanne Durand (Lindsay Duncan) to
give a concert at the Royal Albert Hall but difficulties arise with
the realisation that the star can't actually sing. In 'Olympics'
the London Olympics are fast-approaching and Eddie is finally
beginning to feel the effects of aging. When she finds an
invitation for an exclusive party it brings her closer to her
fashion idol and the Olympic Stadium.
