Caitlin Moran鈥檚 bestseller is a mix of comic memoir and polemic, structured around dramatised comic scenes from her life.

On her life journey, we hear how Caitlin's 13th birthday in Wolverhampton weighing 13-stone doesn't start well.

But she moves on to become the youngest journalist at Melody Maker. Marriage and children follow with a career as a columnist.

This is all interspersed with her thoughts on subjects ranging from the necessity of big knickers, to the experience of giving birth and having an abortion.

Omnibus of five episodes dramatised by Claudine Toutoungi and Caitlin Moran.
