Why Mummy Swears Monday-Friday, Radio 4, 7.45pm

The hilarious second novel from Gill Sims, author of Why Mummy Drinks, has been dramatised by Christine Entwisle.

Gabriel Quigley stars as Ellen who, because her children are becoming increasingly independent, feels ready to take on a new challenge and return to full-time work. During the week’s five episodes, Ellen bags her dream job and chairs the PTA.

However, juggling many plates, she begins to feel she may have bitten off more than she can chew.
