About the Author Judith Holder has a distinguished career in television, having produced some of the funniest people in the business, including Clive James, Billy Connolly, Dame Edna Everage, Victoria Wood and Lenny Henry. She has also written her own comedy pieces, which she has performed on WOMAN'S HOUR and HOME TRUTHS. She is the author of THE SECRET DIARY OF A GRUMPY OLD WOMAN and GRUMPY OLD HOLIDAYS.
