Make them laugh, and they're yours forever . . .
Barbara Parker is Miss Blackpool of 1964, but she doesn't want to be a beauty queen. She wants to make people laugh.
So she leaves her hometown behind, takes herself to London, and overnight she becomes the lead in a new BBC comedy, Sophie Straw: charming, gorgeous, destined to win the nation's hearts.
Funny Girl is the story of a smash-hit TV show and the people behind the scenes. But when life starts imitating art, they all face a choice. How long can they keep going before it's time to change the channel?

3-4 Sterne, schon weil ich froh bin, dass es nicht wieder so ein Totalausfall wie "How to be good" war. Diesmal mochte ich die Personen und auch das Thema war nett. Es hat mich angenehm überrascht, dass es um die 60er Jahre und die BBC geht. Es war nett zu lesen, wenn es auch nicht zu den Büchern gehört, die man verschlingt und nicht aus der Hand legen kann. Aber es hat mir gefallen.
