The More You Ignore Me
THE MORE YOU IGNORE ME IS NOW A MAJOR NEW FILM STARRING SHERIDAN SMITH, SHEILA HANCOCK, RICKY TOMLINSON AND ELLA HUNT. Jo Brand`s life-affirming novel The More You Ignore Me addresses mental health issues and their impact on a family in an honest, hilarious and heartwarming way. This film tie-in edition contains a new foreword by Jo Brand about the film and an exclusive extract of the film script. For Alice, the big bad monster wasn`t green and hiding under the bed, it sat in the kitchen saying `bollocks` a lot. Prone to psychotic episodes, or `on the road to bonkersville` as Alice`s dad would say, Alice`s mum Gina isn`t easy to live with. Her unpredictable outbursts make life in their Hereford cottage eventful. As `family` means a mentally ill mother, a hippy father and grandparents who enjoy a drink or five, Alice needs someone to help her through. Unfortunately, Alice`s special someone is Morrissey of The Smiths, and the closest she`s got to him so far is watching him on Top of the Pops.
