Book Description: 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. : Review: '...A comic rollercoaster...exactly the sort of racy summer read you'd expect from the clever, funny, sharp Miss Smith...': -- Woman and Home: 'I liked this book, it made me laugh': -- BBC Ariel Magazine: 'Such wry, sassy fun she might want to give up her day job' -- Daily Record : Review: 'Such wry, sassy fun she might want to give up her day job' Size: 13 x 2.2 x 19.7 cm. 327 pages.
