You might not recognise Jennifer Saunders without her sidekick Patsy and a cigarette in her​ hand.

But watch this interview and you’ll realise​ that there’s a lot you never knew about the woman who is famous for creating the hit BBC series, Absolutely Fabulous (aka ‘Ab Fab’).

Jennifer Saunders has won three BAFTAs, a British Comedy Award, a People’s Choice Award and an international Emmy for her work, and now she’s written about her crazy life in a brilliant book called Bonkers.

In this episode of The Book Circle, Cheryl Akle sits down with Jennifer to talk about the book everyone’s talking about.

If you need a bit of funny in your life, then check out this honest ​interview. And run, don’t walk, to pick up a copy of the book.

Bonkers – Jennifer Saunders

She’s been in two of the most popular double acts in TV history. As the Saunders one out of French and Saunders, she gave the world one of its longest-lasting, most-loved comedy partnerships. And in Ab Fab’s Eddie and Patsy, she created two hilarious monsters we’ve taken to our hearts.

Bonkers is the story of how it all came about. Or at least the bits she recalls. The rest she made up. Either way, it’s all here: the stories, the characters, Dawn, Joanna, and playing herself throughout: Jennifer.
