Mimi’s Memoirs

Having been inundated with fan-mail and questions for nearly three decades, actress and director Sue Hodge decided it was time for everyone to know the truth behind the making of the internationally known hit comedy series ’Allo ’Allo!

Told with heart and honesty through the eyes of that madcap, pocket dynamo character Mimi Labonq, Sue gives a hilarious and no-holds-barred insight into things you would only know about if you’d been there. How did she fly across a cornfield as the flying nun? (Or maybe she didn’t.) Did she really get inside a grandfather clock? What was her true relationship with René? What did he really do to her when he was pushing her along as a baby in the pram?

To find out the answers to these questions plus much much more, read Mimi’s Memoirs, and you will understand why ’Allo ’Allo! became one of the biggest BBC smash-hits of all time.

Munich Why?

This is a fascinating, cold-case review of the 1938 Munich agreement. There were five major players: Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Czechoslovakia. For the Czechs it was a disaster. In 1939, the Germans marched into Prague. The Czechs were to lose their independence for some 50 years. In Britain, Chamberlain was the self-appointed spokesman for the Czechs. He was simply found wanting because he never appeared to have the slightest understanding of Hitler’s dishonesty. The French were led by corrupt and incompetent politicians who had treaty obligations to the Czechs which they were determined, at all costs, to avoid being required to honour. The Germans were the villains of the act. Hitler was determined to smash the Czechs and “to remove the tribes of Bohemia and Moravia into reservations in Siberia and Wolhynia (a marshy part of Poland).” 

“Ethnic cleansing” had not then entered the English language. Russian foreign policy was famously described by Churchill as “a riddle, wrapped up in a mystery, inside an enigma.”

My Life in Verse

As long as I can remember, the only thing that fills my brain are words, and ever since starting school and falling in love with rhyming iambic pentameters, I have been writing “old-fashioned” poetry! This collection has been garnered and put together from hand-drafted papers and (my sister having taught me how to type so that she could read my scrawl!) from a life’s collection of typed manuscripts.

Nancy's Magic

From the witch’s daughter who has always known about herbs and potions.

A stone which stands tall and proud, waiting but waiting for who?

Driving ahead at full speed, searching and looking for the right road, the one which will take her far away to freedom.

To survive – an instinct bred deep inside of every man woman and child. To have the courage to go on and never give in.

Dreams which can be more real and terrifying than real life but can also be a warning of events waiting to happen.

Then there always is true love, a love which can last for many years and can never die.

Let the time fly by as you enter an emotional roller-coaster, from love and survival, witches and wizards, laughter and tears.

But things are not always what they seem, twists, and turns at every corner and at the end – who knows?

Enjoy the ride and always remember to dance in the rain.
