It's a credit to Mike Read that in a doc where you should feel some sense of sympathy, he quotes Oscar Wilde and comes off like Mike Read so it's very difficult.

We quote her at least once a week. I'm aware in 2026, she's clearly not very well and this programme wouldn't be made... But, she's so uniquely barmy and the object of her obsession is so myopically amusing that I think you'd be extremely contrarion to not find something about it very funny.
