She's been in two of the most popular double acts in TV history. As the Saunders one out of French and Saunders, she gave the world one of its longest-lasting, most-loved comedy partnerships. And in Ab Fab's Eddie and Patsy she created two hilarious monsters we've taken to our hearts.Bonkers is the story of how it all came about. Or at least the bits she recalls. The rest she made up. Either way, it's all here: the stories, the characters, Dawn, Joanna, and, playing herself throughout: Jennifer. 'Hilarious and brilliant.' Kirsty Young, BBC Radio 4'Delightfully funny . . . she writes with moving honesty.' Hello!'Unputdownable, a hoot.' Guardian'Fabulous? Yes. Funny? Absolutely.' Mail on Sunday
