I love Daisy May Cooper and was looking forward to this. But no, didn't do it for me. Not clever enough, funny enough, and concentrated too much on shock humour and crude imagery. Needless use of the worst kind of language (we all know the word) liberally sprinkled throughout like it's akin to 'damn' or 'blast', images of graphic pornographic art and seemingly constant sex acts and masturbation. Re- reading this I'm coming across very prim and offended, a pearl clutching Nan, and be assured I'm far from it, but I wasn't disgusted, offended or mortified, I just found all those issues I've listed so SO distracting and unnecessary in what could have been a lot funnier but still realistically and well observed, hard hitting and tender whilst still being honest and gritty. I also think it highly unlikely that a 10 year old girl would come out of that environment as well balanced and unscathed as Iris did.
