What to expect

`This is not a journey that begins by heading out into the wild blue but instead starts with a walk under a grey sky to a bus stop... It's my kind of memoir'

Critics Review

  • Her writing style is as kooky and digestible as Bill Bryson’s, her genius as a raconteur inherited from her Danish journalist father… Hop on this bus, grab a seat up top and prepare yourself for a fun-filled, fact-packed, memorable ride

    Sunday Times

  • Between the Stops is like browsing through a well-stocked museum of curiosities with a wise and kind guide; it’s part celebration, part confession, part call to arms and wholly entertaining. Don’t read it on the bus though – it will make you miss your stop

    Observer

  • The comedian, broadcaster and activist uses the meandering route of the number 12 bus, winding its way from her home in Dulwich, south-east London, to the BBC headquarters at Broadcasting House, to share a series of wonderful vignettes about her life

    Herald

  • There are fascinating gems of London history along the way, acute observations of fellow passengers, personal asides about her marriage to psychotherapist Debbie, and the odd anecdote from the world of television. It’s full of wit and wisdom

    Radio Times

  • Life-affirming and addictive

    Sunday Express

  • The comedian, TV presenter and political activist narrates the events of her life by way of her bus journey… En route, she takes in her fellow passengers, the history of the city and her own fascinating, multi-site heritage
