Some good writing from Wendy Cope. I'm a fan of her poems but some of her prose writing feels overwhelmingly simplistic which detracts from some of the writing but it's a good mix to read from.

A set of recollections never written with publication in mind? Mildly interesting, but probably should have stayed unpublished. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the sharp, witty reviews which originally appeared in The Spectator in the early 1990s and now have the added benefit of inducing nostalgia for a time when TV viewing was a much simpler habit.

The simplistic style which I love so well in her poems reads very juvenile in her prose. The subject material was uninteresting and the tone self-important.
