Ariane Sherine wants to live to 100 and write 100 books

Ariane Sherine has had a busy week. It's her birthday. And she released the first episode of her weekly podcast Love Sex Intelligence. And she has published her first novel, Shitcom, about two male TV sitcom writers. She knows that about which she writes. She has been a writer on BBC TV's Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps and on My Family.
