Did you love Stella Newman's Pear Shaped and Leftovers? In A Pear Shaped Christmas, her characters return to delight fans and newcomers alike with a snortingly hilarious tale of how one high profile Christmas ad for a supermarket chain can go so horribly wrong in the course of a year. A treat if you can't get enough of Jill Mansell, Jenny Colgan and Lucy Diamond.

'I want a TV ad just like John Lewis's - only better!'

That's what Devron, the head of marketing at Fletchers supermarket wants - and what Devron wants, Devron gets - or else. It'll be fine, though. Vicky has eleven months to make the nation's new favourite Christmas ad, that's more than enough time.

Unless something, or someone, gets in her way...


A tale of turkey and tears, mince pies and mayhem.
