Our naughtiest national treasure and Number 1 bestselling author takes on Britain and the British

In Miriam's Full English, she turns her documentary-maker's eye on her own backyard. After exploring the rest of the world through her much-loved BBC series, she's bringing her trademark wit to get to the heart of what is up with not just England but Scotland, Wales and Ireland too.

'It starts with the title - the joy of a Full English is in the way a whole collection of wildly different things pile together onto a breakfast plate to make a delicious whole. And well, that's the real secret of Britain and the British - not shutting things out but welcoming in more... (I mean, even our flag is called the UNION Jack). I believe in fairness and fun, free love and free speech, and all of them are under threat. We desperately need an antidote to the naysayers and belittlers, to Nigel Farage and everyone who says "whatever". And I'm hoping this book might do the trick.'

And who better than Miriam Margolyes OBE to reunite our not terribly united Kingdom in one unforgettable book, packed with heroes and villains, jokes and deep insights, surprises and, of course, lashings of sauce. Expect memories & mammaries, Arsenal & arseholes, politics, filth, and absolutely everything in between.

Born in Oxford, England in 1941 & educated at Newnham College, Cambridge, MIRIAM MARGOLYES OBE is an award-winning veteran of the stage and screen, and an internationally acclaimed voice-artist and documentarian. Winner of the BAFTA Best Supporting Actress award for The Age of Innocence, she received an OBE in 2002 for Services to Drama. This Much is True, her long-awaited award-winning autobiography, was in the top ten for over a year.
