Just one funny moment is this for example: When MItch had botox (lol) Amy said to him: "Dad, I don't want you to waste money on drugs".
And this when Amy was in the hospital and asked her dad to bring her some stuff. This is how he himself describes the story:
"Dad, I need some underwear," she said.
"Okay. I'll go to Marks & Spencer and get you some," I said.
"No, Dad, not Marks. Go to Agent Provocateur.
"The fancy lingerie shop? I gulped. "Are you kidding? I can't go in there."
Suffice to say, Amy had her way and I went to Agent Provocateur in Soho, which I found a bit awkward ... I would have been embarrassed saying, "I want to buy some knickers for my daughter," so I said they were for my wife.
Amy was delighted with my purchases, but it was a mistake to tell her how embarrassed I had been. She loved the idea of making me squirm and really knew how to wind me up; she'd done it many times over the years and this time my usual response - "Don't ask me to do this, Amy, ask your girlfriends"- had got me nowhere. The next day she sent me back to buy her a baby-doll nightie.
As for surprising content:
Well, I was really impressed how close they were/are in Amy's family. I just cannot imagin my father doing and sucrifying that much for me.
Unknown facts (at leat for me...):
The precancerous cells story.
And that Amy thought that was pregnant with Reg - twice if I remember right. Reg said he'd marry Amy immediately if she'd got pregnant. He didn't move in to Camden house because he didn't want to be perceived as a sponger that I fully understand but it seems that for Amy it was really hard...
