PART ONE:  “Hand transplant went very badly, I’m afraid” “And apparently, I collapsed in front of the servants:” “Oooh!  Master Paul!”, they cried (hysterically)  “My Lavinia rang for an ambulance – eventually.”  “And I was ordered complete bed rest…”  “Marjorie’s blue eyes became misty with concern:‘Where is the Will, Paul?  You have made one, haven’tContinue reading “THE AMANDA ANN FAMILY SHOW – SERIES FIVE”
