Janet Street Porter Is Off The Leash

From a bolshy child with a Welsh-speaking budgie to National Treasure, Janet Street-Porter’s life (and language) has always been colourful.

As a broadcaster, television executive and newspaper editor she was at the forefront of some of Britain’s most enduring cultural moments.

Now she finds herself with a senior railcard and four ex-husbands.

The nation’s favourite pissed-off pensioner brings comedy, tragedy and gossip in equal measure, a tour de force rant against growing old gracefully.

Often imitated but rarely equalled, in the words of her good friend Elton, “the bitch is back”!

As heard on The Dave Berry Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio, The News Quiz, Just A Minute, and his own Radio 4 series Glenn Moore’s Almanac.
