I came across this on iPlayer, recently been on BBC4. It's pretty much her narrating a memoir starting with her as a baby. It's about 2 hours long so I've taken a break half way through, but it's entertaining viewing.

Saw her doing it live in Birmingham a couple of years ago with DD it was very very funny (and so true!)

Have read her autobiography, it's very good.

I thought this programme was very good and rather sad when she spoke about her parents and her inability to have children.

I got about half an hour in and gave up!!!

We did too Teetime but I went back to it today and really enjoyed it. She can be a bit daft and unfunny (in my opinion) but the family stuff was quite moving.

I watched this and loved it.

I thought she was remarkably honest, open and genuine. Completely changed my opinion of her in fact.
