Jack & Millie

Jack & Millie is the brainchild of Jeremy Front who, with his sister Rebecca Front had been improvising these two characters for years - and now they’ve been brought to life in a new show...

This new comedy show written by Jeremy Front (writer of the Charles Paris mysteries for Radio 4) and starring Jeremy Front and Rebecca Front as Jack & Millie Lemman - an older couple who are fully engaged with contemporary life whilst being at war with the absurdities of the modern world...

The show also features Millie’s frenemy Shirley - played by Tracy-Ann Oberman, Jack’s all-too-easygoing friend Harry (Nigel Lindsay), their high-pressure son Melvin (Harry Peacock) and their high-maintenance (and Catholic) (and French) daughter-in-law Delphine (Jenny Bede - most recently heard in an episode of “John Finnemore’s Double Acts” alongside Mathew Baynton).

Jeremy Front, Rebecca Front ,Tracy-Ann Oberman, Nigel Lindsay, Sue Kelvin, Adam G Goodwin and Llewella Gideon star in the first episode – “Death And The Maven” -, where Film Club Leo dies suddenly, Jack & Millie have to make a choice between good behaviour and cheesecake... in this new comedy starring Jeremy and Rebecca Front

In Episode 2, entitled “Special Lunch” and starring Jeremy Front, Rebecca Front, Harry Peacock, Jenny Bede and Tayla Kovacevic-Ebong, Jack & Millie have a son. And Melvin has an app. And Melvin’s wife, Delphine has a dog. And Daniel Craig has both his eyebrows. A Special Lunch turns into a Totteridge tale of decking, Bond, beef tomahawks and a married lifetime’s-worth of verbal sparring...

Show 3, and Jeremy Front, Rebecca Front, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Nigel Lindsay, Rebecca Gethings, Naz Osmanoglu and Luke Sumner star in “Deliver Us From Ebay” - Jack & Millie discover the 11th Commandment - Thou shalt not try and please a son’s scary ex-girlfriend. And what’s really in the mysterious neighbour’s packages...?

Episode 4 stars Jeremy Front, Rebecca Front, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Nigel Lindsay, Harry Peacock, Jenny Bede and Lauren O' Rourke in “The Kids Are Alright” - All grandkids make mistakes. But only Jack & Millie’s do it quite so loudly and on video...

And in the bonus Pilot edition, “Kafka Died At 39”, a phone, a strudel & Franz Kafka combine to make Jack & Millie’s day rather complicated in this new comedy about an older couple getting to grips with a French daughter-in-law, gassy beer, Eye-Closing Leon and a married lifetime’s-worth of verbal sparring...

The show comes from Pozzitive, proud producers of Cabin Pressure, Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones!, Jeremy Hardy Speaks To The Nation, The Brig Society, The Castle, Armando Iannucci’s Charm Offensive, Shush! & Kevin Eldon Will See You Now...

Reviews

Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter. I loved it.

—— Jojo Moyes

This is the funniest book Sophie Kinsella has ever written

—— Jenny Colgan

This is Sophie Kinsella at her heart-warming and hilarious best

—— Cosmopolitan on Surprise Me

In a month when romance takes centre stage, Sophie Kinsella can always be relied upon to deliver a story that will warm the cockles of any tired old heart but never lapses into saccharine sweet sentiment.

—— Red magazine

Kinsella at her put-a-smile-on-your-face best

—— Good Housekeeping

I'm a huge fan of Kinsella . . . Highly enjoyable

—— Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail

A hilariously funny, yet emotionally deep, novel

—— Sunday Express

Enchanting and clever . . . whip-smart and brilliantly done, with a lightness of touch that disguises a lot of real wisdom.

—— Amanda Craig

Sophie Kinsella writes with a warm wit and this clever, funny and emotional novel will make you laugh and cry. *****

—— Sunday Post

A fun, frothy good-hearted read

—— Sunday Mirror

A tale of long-term love and friendship told with Sophie’s blend of warmth and humour

—— Sun

A runaway success . . . it's an uplifting romcom that combines elements of Bridget Jones and Four Weddings with Father Ted

—— Kirsty Lang, BBC Radio 4 Front Row

This hilarious Irish bestseller, which came to life via a viral Facebook page, follows country girl Aisling as she moves from her hometown to big city living in Dublin. She's sweet, a little clueless but a force to be reckoned with

—— Buzzfeed

Aisling is an absolute gem of a character and this book is a breath of fresh air

—— Sun

Hilarious . . . A well-crafted tale with warmth and emotion

—— Woman Magazine

It's sweet and it's funny and it's moving and it's perfect

—— The Pool

My unofficial autobiography

An utter ray of sunshine

—— Red

The funniest, warmest, loveliest book I've read in so long. The characters are so hilarious and relatable, I laughed non-stop and genuinely didn't want it to end

—— Lucy Vine

I've spent the last forty-eight hours laughing my head off at this novel . . . but it's not just comic, there's a real heart to it and it's often very moving

—— John Boyne

One of my fave novels of 2017. It really does remind me of Marian Keyes

—— Louise O'Neill

If I had a book of the year award for 2017 it would go to Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling . . . It left me giggling at some pages and sobbing at others

—— Sinead Crowley

One of the funniest books I've read in twenty years

—— Paul Howard

Another funny and lovable take on everyone's favourite small-town girl Aisling. A highly entertaining and absorbing addition to your bookshelves

—— Sunday Business Post

Every Irish person knows an Aisling, and there is nothing more delightful than recognising something familiar being projected back at you through a novel. While the books are both extremely funny, they also reflect a period in Irish culture and centre around a heartwarming story for Aisilings of the ages

—— Image Magazine

The Hot List

—— Inside Soap

The scene is set for a great unravelling. People running from their pasts, presents and futures - what more could one ask for?

Like drinking a pink cosmo laced with arsenic . . . a fun, engaging and sometimes disturbing read

Keeps you guessing until the very end - perfect summer read

Moriarty writes vividly, wittily and wickedly

Straight-from-life characters, knife-sharp insight and almost unbearable suspense will have you racing through it
