One of Northern Life 's Best Spring Reads 2026 'I knew Caroline working at the BBC before she was famous, and she was ALWAYS funny. As we know, fame came as a mixed blessing, but in the end it would have been a tragedy if the wider world hadn't sampled her comedy genius. She was wonderful and unforgettable company, and this book brings her alive to me again in all her unique and unfiltered glory.' Mark Radcliffe, broadcaster 'Caroline was as quirky, down to earth, funny and wicked as the characters she created. She probably would have hated having a book written about her.' Charlie Higson, actor and comedian 'An often laugh-out-loud tribute to a comedy genius and working-class heroine. This book is a joyful reminder of all she gave us and all we lost far too soon.' Hannah Chissick and Laura Checkley, The Proper Class Podcast 'A moving tribute to a rebellious force who used comedy to reach the parts of the human experience that ordinary conversation couldn't.

For those who want to reflect on the life of one of the most influential comedians Britain has ever seen, this book is a very worth tribute.' Sophie Hughes, Altrincham Today 'A proper tribute to a one-off talent.' Northern Life 'Scott does a phenomenal job of capturing this legacy in just 185 pages. For those who want to reflect on the life of one of the most influential comedians Britain has ever seen, this book is a very worthy tribute.' Altrincham Today.
