attention all fans - tomorrow night, Friday 6th January, 8pm, BBC2, according to The Guide, John Humphrys will be posing questions on the life and works of AF (and Gustav Mahler).
Should I put this on Telly Addicts too?
oh so exciting thanks for letting us know! I've always pondered whether she would be my first round topic or second round - other choices would be diana wynne jones and buffy the vampire slayer. What would yours be?

mine would be the work of US cartoonist Alison Bechdel (see Bechdel Test), particularly the brilliant Dykes to Watch Out For series.

Oh I will record it, thank you!
I've just read Spring Term and see that I have been spelling the surname in my username wrongly.....
Was going to write "spring term, shurely shome mistake?" but then I googled it and found it and bought it! How is it? And then I found trennels.livejournal.com/. What a marvellous place! Can't believe I never found it before. Are you Elaine Rees there too? Wha gnaws you pick her as a namesake?
And didn't she do well on mastermind? Would you have got all of those?
Sheeshmissed the other iPad auto correct typo. Sentence should have said "what made you..."

oh darn - missed it. Good, was it?
Sent spring term to two friends in widely separated places, both of whom read it in one gulp on christmas day and wrote to each other recommending it...
still not bought it for myself 
yes MasterMind was very good - she did brilliantly on both rounds
On spring term, I loved it, was a very fan-friendly book as got the Nick story right, although terribly harsh on Ginty...not sure if AF would have gone there.
Was written very much in AF style although not quite as elegant on the prose. But cracking story, definitely worth it for fans.
