Cat's Out the Bag

In 2014 she said: ‘I’m NEVER doing Breakfast Radio ever again.’ Now she’s back. So, what made journalist, presenter, playwright and all-round loveable rascal Cat Harvey rejoin the broadcasting enigma that is Ewen Cameron? Was it the Pandemic? The closure of theatres? Or was the fact she needed to laugh? What reunited the award-winning duo? How does a sensible sportswriter end up a pantomime fairy? Why would anyone agree to write a play in two weeks because of a misunderstanding in a supermarket car park? How does it feel when your 85-year-old dad becomes an internet sensation with TV cameras turning up at his door? In CAT’S OUT THE BAG, Cat answers all these questions and more and spills the beans on the hilarious behind-the-scenes antics on one of Scotland’s favourite radio shows. There’s dancing on a kitchen table with a global superstar at 3 a.m., Ewen’s traffic-stopping prank on his wife and THAT rumour of a night of passion with a Rolling Stone. ‘Ewen & Cat at Breakfast’ fans will love the insight into regular show features like ‘Aye or Naw’, ‘Song with a Story’ and ‘Ewen and Cat’s Musical Balls’. And the funniest stories and messages from their loyal listeners are included too. It’s a world where fun is mandatory, nonsense is encouraged, and everyone is welcome. Side-splittingly funny, moving, insightful, poignant and ultimately uplifting in a world of gloom, this is the light-hearted banter we all need. And if this book does not sound like your cup of tea, buy it for your mammy – she’ll love it. ‘I think it’s quite sweet she’s spent years trying to find my house.’ – Marti Pellow ‘I can see why she is popular with truckers.’ – H.R.H. Prince Phillip ‘I first met them when I was 17. Cat said I’d be a superstar. Ewen said I’d never make it. Cat has always been my favourite.’ – Amy MacDonald
