Dawn French

Comedy icon Dawn French takes us on her ten-song journey in this week's omnibus edition of Tracks Of My Years.

Actress, writer and comedy icon Dawn French chooses her 10 favourite songs in this week’s omnibus edition of Tracks Of My Years.

Dawn has appeared in a range of TV shows from The Comic Strip to Murder Most Horrid and on to Jam & Jerusalem, but is probably best known for writing and starring alongside her lifelong friend Jennifer Saunders in French and Saunders, and of course for playing Geraldine Granger in the The Vicar of Dibley. Her stories behind her song choices are fabulous and range from wanting to star as Nancy in Oliver to buying Norah Jones a pair of shoes.

Following on from her four Sunday Times bestselling novels, the non-fiction bestseller 'Me You: A Diary,' and a sold out 2022 one-woman show, Dawn is back with a brand new book, which sounds like "The Twit Files"..
