A darkly comic novel about the fall and rise of a TV presenter.
Written by an insider, it’s a page-turning account of life on the
sofa and in front of the cameras. When Katie Fisher, morning TV
presenter, returns from holiday it's to discover that she's
literally yesterday's news. Publicly sacked from her job as anchor
of Hello Britain! and replaced by a pert young thing, she does what
any self-respecting thirty something would in these circumstances
– she makes a dash for her parents and hits the bottle. But
Katie, sooner or later, has to face the world, the photographers,
and the backstage intrigue of morning television: the cut-throat,
lecherous producers, the ambitious but vacant Keera, and Mike, her
co-host, a trustworthy friend or just another one of the many
back-stabbers? Humour is Katie's only weapon and, as things hit
rock-bottom, it could provide a perfect solution to life after the
sofa. Knowing, insightful and darkly comic, Penny Smith's novel is
the insider's view of TV.
The brilliant second novel from GMTV's Penny Smith. A sequel to
'Coming Up Next', Katie Fisher's back in front of the cameras, but
not exactly on the sofa. Katie Fisher, one-time presenter of
breakfast TV show Hello Britain!, nearly has her life in perfect
order. She's recovered from her humiliating dismissal, improved her
relationship with the drinks cabinet and, most importantly, found a
gorgeous new TV producer boyfriend. But her dream job as a chat
show host has come to an end and there doesn't seem to be much work
around - she's starting to get worried. Then she's offered a place
on Celebrity X-treme - the latest celebrity-humiliating reality
show. But is a reality TV program really a good idea? Will it save
her career or be the final blow? And just how tempting are two
weeks in a freezing cabin in Norway, with a group of people no
one's quite heard of? Very tempting - when the pay check is that
big. So Katie takes the risk - along with a page 3 model, an
out-of-work soap actor, an old, failed comedian and some woman who
had an affair with a politician. She's soon out of her depth, as
scheming producers do everything in their power to get the show
they want - it's going to take all Katie's good humour and bad puns
to bounce back from this one.
