Lucy Winterton
One day with Lucy Winterton, the rent-a-gob journalist famous for her anti-men puns and books based loosely on her long-suffering husband. Featuring Jeremy Paxman.
Rebecca Front (The Thick of It, Nighty Night, Just William, Grandma's House) brings us this series about five extraordinary and unforgettable characters in Incredible Women.
In each programme less-than-intrepid interviewer Jeremy spends one night in the home of each of his interviewees. On their territory, he asks about their personal histories, plus we discover some very odd things about the way they live their daily lives.
Today he meets Lucy Winterton, rent-a-gob journalist. She churns out bestsellers, loosely based on her long-suffering husband Rollo, saying all men are useless. She has discovered a technique of punning in interviews which is handy in the world of headline-grabbing but which clearly drives interviewers, including Jeremy Paxman, absolutely mad. When Jeremy visits her home, Rollo drops a bombshell - but does Lucy react in the way one
would predict?
Featuring Jeremy Paxman, David Morrissey, Janet Street-Porter, Rebecca Front and Jeremy Front.
Producer: Claire Jones.
