It's become a cliché in Britain to call somebody in the entertainment field a national institution -- but that's exactly what Dawn French is. As both comedienne and actress (the latter in both comedy and straight parts), she has become one of the best loved entertainers in the country. Her range is not wide (unlike her dimensions -- and that's the sort of joke she’d crack), but she is utterly winning...
He describes his childhood to manhood in such a sensitive & interesting way. An honest & frank look at race issues that he had to consider due to his mixed race & ancestry. Until I'd read the book, I hadn't realised how deep he was. I Highly Recommend this book! Once I started it , I then looked forward to my next train journeys, to get the next instalment. And its now solved my Xmas gift ideas! I'm...
At the back of this book is a list of all the television and film work that Walters has done in her long and highly successful career. It makes for fascinating reading and takes several pages. This does not include her equally enthralling theatre work.
When you realise quite how much she has done in her career you also realise that a book like this is never going to cram it all in. This...
Have just finished reading this,what a fantastic read!! Very funny don't read this last thing at night as you won't be able to sleep for laughing! Buy it you won't regret it!
I have been a fan of Parky for over 30 years. I had the privelege of hearing him being interviewed at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, in conjunction with promoting his book. He held the audience enthralled as he regaled us with tales from his most varied and interesting life and career.
I could not wait to read my signed copy; It is a good read, however, was practically verbatim with his...
This book is fantastic, alan carr is hillarious!!! Love him hes one of the best comedians out. His book had me laughing constantly, read it in a weekend because I just didnt want to put the book down it was so funny. There are no sob stories just pure comedy, loved it! Would recommend it to anyone.
I have been a fan of Fern's for years. I admit I was disappointed when it all came out about her gastric band and I bought the book fearing that it would be a whitewash. It isn't. Fern has not had it easy. The proof that she really is the nice person I always thought she was is that she doesn't point fingers or spill blood and guts in the way that has become commonplace in celebrity biographies...
Travelled almost 400 miles to see Sir Roger and get the book signed at Waterstones in Castle Street, Norwich, then queued for around 2 hours where we were given raffle tickets to get in. The first 200 were guaranteed, and only 300 would be done. After being handed a set of ''rules" namely no pictures, no dedications, no talking, virtually no nothing we were regimented through the store and got all...
At last a real footballer has written an interesting book. Jamie Carragher has become a Liverpool legend, but if you think this book is all about Saint Jamie then you are wrong. There are sides to his character thta come out in his book, that I am not comfortable with. He admits he could have gone dwon the wrong path, and was hardly an angel in his early days at Liverpool. He is honest enough to say...
These girls seem to think they are bigger than All Saints, Spice Girls and Destiny's Chil when infact they aren't as big as many of them. Girls Aloud have no success outside the UK. But I'll admit, some of their songs from their Tangled Up era was rather mature sounding and catchy and I did take a liking to it. So it really made feel like a huge hypocrite. I've become a lot more open minded with Music.
