admirably captures the atmosphere, story-telling practices and feel of a traditional Doctor Who story

the writing and acting are so tight they're in danger of cutting off your blood supply

Cabin Pressure is one of the best written, cast, acted and directed comedies on anywhere.

The more I listen to John Finnemore's Cabin Pressure, the more I think what a stonking masterpiece it is. Perfect in every department.

no-holds-barred

very funny but also very moving

very funny

there are moments here that shine with the genius for observational comedy for which Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders (the Fatty of the title) are famous

Dawn writes (with) tenderness, caring and oodles of charm. Well-paced, it's a reminder of why she has been a staple of the British comedy scene since the early 1980s

Anyone perparing for another dry, identikit celebrity autobiography is going to be delighted by these hilarious memoirs

French can still cut the comic mustard

while much of the book's tone is that of the unassailably jolly Dawn we all expect ... other letters are tear-jerkingly poignant and none more so than those she writes to her late father Denys French

For all her honesty anyone hoping for a light-hearted romp will be delighted ... While her charm shines throughout, the more intense moments stay with you in a way that most celeb autobiographies can only strive for

you'll be captivated by her witty and warm style

Self-depracating yet never self-pitying, irreverent yet never truly cynical, she comes across as a woman genuinely at ease with herself ... French is engaging company, and at her best she writes about heartbreak and elation with such grace that her book is impossible to dislike
