Back Story: A Memoir

By David Mitchell

David Mitchell, who you may know for his inappropriate anger on every TV panel show except Never Mind The Buzzcocks, his look of permanent discomfort on C4 sex comedy Peep Show, his online commenter-baiting in The Observer or just for wearing a stick-on moustache in That Mitchell & Webb Look, has written a book about his life.

As well as giving a specific account of every single time he's scored some smack, this disgusting memoir also details:

- the singular, pitbull-infested charm of the FRP ('Flat Roofed Pub')

- the curious French habit of injecting everyone in the arse rather than the arm

- why, by the time he got to Cambridge, he really, really needed a drink

- the pain of being denied a childhood birthday party at McDonald's

- the satisfaction of writing jokes about suicide

- how doing quite a lot of walking around London helps with his sciatica

- trying to pretend he isn't a total **** at Robert Webb's wedding

- that he has fallen in love a LOT, but rarely done anything about it

- why it would be worse to bump into Michael Palin than Hitler on holiday

- that he's not David Mitchell the novelist. Despite what David Miliband might think

Not in the UK?

Fear not! Many items can still be ordered. Amazon in the UK delivers to many international territories, whilst their Australia, USA and Canada stores also supply many equivalent or imported items.

If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links.

If you order from a UK store, please note that the UK is in Region 2 and B, respectively, for DVDs and Blu-rays - check your player's compatibility, or look for multi-region products if you are located in another region.

If you are in Australia or New Zealand (DVD Region 4), note that almost all DVDs distributed in the UK by the BBC and 2entertain are encoded for both Region 2 and Region 4. The UK and Australasia are in the same Blu-ray region (B).
