Press clippings

If you haven't been listening to The Queen And I (Radio 4, daily until next Tuesday), you must. Not so much for the story, an abridgement by Elizabeth Proud of Sue Townsend's latest novel, as for the reading. The tale of a republican electoral victory resulting in the Royal Family's move (or, as the social worker puts it, relocation) to a council estate is both prescient and amusing. But Miriam Margolyes's reading, produced by John Tydeman, is a bravura performance.

Val Arnold-Forster, The Guardian, 3rd October 1992
