Janet Street-Porter

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

Now she finds herself on the cusp of turning 80 and so her agent has decided he needs to milk this cash-cow while he can. Armed with a senior railcard and a fifth husband in tow, the nation's favourite pissed-off pensioner is back on the road bringing 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"!
