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 and Webb Look, has written a book about his life.

David Mitchell’s 2014 best seller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything’s got worse. We’ve gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It’s probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up.

His daily discontent is nothing compared to the affliction of hearing loss, which is a constant source of domestic friction and social embarrassment. In the popular imagination, he observes, deafness is comic, as blindness is tragic, but for the deaf person himself it is no joke. It is through his deafness that Desmond inadvertently gets involved with a young woman whose wayward and unpredictable behavior threatens to destabilize his life completely.

Or could explore the deepest and most hilarious aspects of creativity.

Urlaub von der Rente. Seit über einem Jahr gibt es in dem beschaulichen Klein-Freudenstadt keine ungeklärten Todesfälle mehr.

In ihrer Verzweiflung hat sich Angela ein neues Hobby gesucht, von dem sie allerdings noch nicht einmal ihrem Ehemann Achim erzählt hat. Die gebuchte Ostsee-Kreuzfahrt soll etwas Abwechslung verschaffen – und ganz nebenbei Erkenntnisse für ihr neues Hobby liefern.
