The Bad Mother's Handbook (2007)

In this television adaptation of Kate Long's best selling novel; the multi-award winning comic, Catherine Tate, plays Karen, a frustrated woman in her thirties whose world is suddenly turned upside down.

Both hilarious and wise, it is a clear-eyed look at motherhood and childhood, from the moment the condom breaks, to the moment you hear your baby's first cry. The realisation that no two mothers are alike, and that ultimately love is the most important thing of all.
