The Worst Date Ever: War Crimes, Hollywood Heart-throbs and Other Abominations

Sick of reality TV, scriptwriter Jane Bussmann ( South Park , The Fast Show , Brass Eye and Smack the Pony ) moved to Hollywood to do something better. But stranded outside the system, her nightmare day job was interviewing Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Co. Jane was trapped in the Golden Age of Stupid. Then she saw a photograph of a man in Vanity Fair . John Prendergast's day job was ending war. He was also extremely attractive. Jane 'may have inferred she was a Foreign Correspondent', because suddenly she was in Washington, New York and finally equatorial Africa on the trail of this modern-day Indiana Jones. But in cruel twist, when Jane arrived in Uganda John had left. Alone in a war-torn country, appalled by 25,000 child abductions, Jane knew she must investigate the war crime of the century - to make John fancy her. With a maverick heroine, an idealist hero, laugh-out-loud comic disasters and moving tragedy, this is brilliant storytelling by a hugely talented writer.

    Laugh out loud. Share with friends.

    A hilarious and tragic account of Jane Bussmann's combi-quest to find a meaningful career AND the perfect man. From the glam of Hollywood to war-torn Africa, it couldn't have been more extreme for Jane. Spurred on by her fantasy of wooing John-peacemaker-Prendergast and her determination to get her story published, she ends up in strange and dangerous circumstances. Fortunately, being Britishly blasé helps her through! And just when you think it can't get any more bizarre, you find a bloke wearing a Saddam Hussain t-shirt.
