Carla Lane: Someday I’ll find me30 Oct 2006
One of the most successful and best-loved television writers of her generation, Carla Lane was the first woman to write a string of popular situation comedies. In a career spanning three decades, she created some of television’s most memorable comic characters: the two young flat sharers Sandra and Beryl in The Liver Birds; the frustrated housewife Ria and her butterfly collector husband Ben in Butterflies and in 1988 over 20 million viewers shared their living rooms with the Boswell family in Bread.

Carla has now written her autobiography and she tells Jenni how much of her work was inspired by her own life and about why she turned her home into an animal sanctuary.

Someday I’ll find me by Carla Lane Published by Robson Books 31st October 2006 ISBN: 1 86105 973 6
