Creator/NickHornby's 2014 novel is about Barbara from Blackpool, who is a very beautiful blonde obsessed with ''Series/ILoveLucy''. She wins Miss Blackpool, but doesn't want to be a paid-for pretty face and instead runs away to London. Almost immediately, a talent agent asks who she's signed with and if he can persuade her to swap sides - still, for modelling. After turning down modelling jobs, she's finally given a comedy acting audition for a Playhouse sketch. She begins to write for the show, and grows undeniable chemistry with her co-star - also one of her favourite comic radio actors. The sketch spawns several series on television. Though she had taken the stage name 'Sophie', the producers imagine a name like Barbara fits her character more - she reveals it's her actual name - and the show gets called ''"Barbara (and Jim)"''. Jim being her home counties husband whom misery befalls nearly OnceAnEpisode.
