THE PERFECT GIFT for the lonely, the deluded and the desperate.
__________________________________
It is Barney and Leigh's wedding day. They have certainly come a long way from their first date.
They have learned to supress their personalities and pretend they want the same things, so they will be able to put up with each other for several years.
Everyone is happy for them.
Their story is over.

Marcus and Fiona have had three dates.
Fiona knows this means she will either end up spending the rest of her life with Marcus, or eventually have to break up with him, horribly.
Both of these ideas are terrifying to Fiona.
Tomorrow Fiona will fake her own death and join Cirque du Soleil.

'Hilarious' Stylist
Jason Hazeley & Joel Morris are the award-winning authors of the bestselling Ladybird Books For Grown-Ups series.
They write for Charlie Brooker's BAFTA award-winning Wipe shows, and co-wrote Cunk on Shakespeare, Cunk on Christmas and Cunk on Britain. They have also written for the award-winning Murder in Successville, the award-winning Miranda, the award-winning Mitchell & Webb, the award-winning Armstrong & Miller and a long list of shows and people both award-winning and so-far-award-avoiding.
They created and wrote the critically lauded but as yet un-awarded Ångström for BBC Radio 4, and helped write both the award-winning Paddington movies. They are co-creators of spoof local newspaper The Framley Examiner (awards pending) and the bestselling but still-waiting-to-be-award-winning offbeat travel guides Bollocks to Alton Towers and Far from the Sodding Crowd.
They present the podcast Rule of Three (Guardian Guide Best 50 Podcasts 2018 - is that an award?) and divide their time between their office, where they keep their awards, and an award-winning pub.
