    A snarky guide to life inspired by the most underrated character on Sex and the City, from the creators of the Instagram sensation @everyoutfitonSATC When Sex and the City premiered, many were hesitant to identify as the Miranda of their social circle—after all, sarcasm, workaholism, and dubious fashion choices are rarely considered aspirational. However, in the two-plus decades since her television debut, our culture has finally caught up with this forward-thinking icon and all she represents. The truth is, Miranda Hobbes is the feminist hero that we deserve— we were all just too busy obsessing over Carrie’s corset tops to notice it at first.   WE SHOULD ALL BE MIRANDAS is a celebration of a certain redheaded lawyer and the legions of fans who relate to her pragmatic, no-bullshit approach to work, love, and sex. Written by two self-proclaimed Mirandas, this humorous manifesto distills Ms. Hobbes’ core principles into a strategic guide for navigating life’s inevitable ups and downs. In it, you’ll learn to:Overcome your internalized MirandaphobiaCope with humiliating sexual encountersMake Google Docs your bitchDump that Skipper that you’ve been datingEmbrace your bad hair days                          ...and so much more! With sharp, sardonic humor and fantastic send-ups to the series’ most iconic moments, We Should All Be Mirandas is the perfect gift for fashionistas, pop culture mavens, and every woman who has dared to eat cake out of the garbage.

    The Lives of Frankie Abbott -...

    Frankie Abbott is certainly one of the most memorable characters from the British sitcoms Please Sir! (which ran from 1968 to 1971) and The Fenn Street Gang (1971 to 1973). Now, David Barry – the much-loved actor who played Frankie in both TV series and the spin-off film – gives us a highly-anticipated glimpse into what the trouble-maker is up to today. 
    As it turns out, with well over five decades having passed since his Fenn Street days, the mother-smothered fantasist is now living in a care home… and is still a big-talking buffoon whose ‘true stories’ are littered with guns, girls and gangsters. However, with Frankie upsetting some of the home’s other residents, two carers – Marion and Sarah – set out to discover the truth of his past, attempting to find out whether he really was the hard man he still claims to have been. 
    In true sitcom style, these two episodes of The Lives of Frankie Abbott have been recorded in front of a live studio audience, and will delight both fans of the original series and newcomers to the character alike. 
    Additional cast include: Graham Cole as Charlie, Larry Dann as Melvin, Felicity Dean as Marion, Suzanne Maddock as Sarah and Judy Matheson as Grace.
