Drinking Custard: The Diary of a Confused Mum

Product Information

Richardson’s role, he tells me, “is to be humiliated and look embarrassed”. Meet the Richardsons provides him with ample opportunity, as he bursts into flames at a children’s party while dressed as a monkey, or – in the new series – disappoints his comedy hero, Ben Elton. Is it right to assume his haplessness and Beaumont’s career anxiety are all exaggerated for comic effect (she has, after all, been nominated for a Bafta for her performance)? “That’s Lucy’s skill as a writer,” says Richardson. “To understand that sitcom is driven by a need. If we’re successful and happy and calm, you lose that fundamental element of comedy.” I give Drinking Custard Diary Of A Confused Mum By Lucy Beaumont (With interruptions from Jon Richardson) a Five out of Five paw rating.

Hullraisers is a new sitcom that will be shown across six 30-minute episodes and promises to be a laugh-out-loud exploration of the lives of three fictional Hull women. Who is the series about? The couple also appear on Channel 4's Celebrity Gogglebox, with Beaumont suggesting in an episode broadcast earlier this month that Richardson watching the film Titanic six times was potential grounds for divorce, and will play together this Friday evening in the opening episode of the twenty-second series of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown.So many hilarious situations, I loved the ‘playgroup’ stories and the real life Elsa for Elsie’s birthday but there are countless others to choose from, if I listed them all I would be retelling the whole book Equally, I felt it is important for women to share their stories in detail, of how they feel in hospital, because if there was all the money in the world in the NHS there probably would be a therapist.

There were some laugh out loud parts and a few relatable bits that we've all been through as parents! The hormones, the buggy shopping before baby arrives and the dreaded mum and baby groups! Lucy tried her hand at many different jobs before her comedy career took off. She first worked at the meat counter of Asda on Hessle Road, West Hull and then went on to get a degree in drama at the university of Hull.
