The full courageous story of one woman's love for two of our greatest comic geniuses.

A few short months after her marriage to Dad's Army star John, Joan Le Mesurier fell in love with his best friend, Tony Hancock, the legendary British comedian.

It was to be a romance like no other: a love affair touched by hilarity...and by tragedy. In Lady Don't Fall Backwards Joan reveals the passionate nature of her relationship with Hancock, confesses the despair they fought to save him from alcoholism; and tells of her lifetimes love for the man who took her back after Hancock's death: much loved actor, John Le Mesurier.

Above all it is the story of Joan herself. she emerges as a courageous and passionate woman, who has been able to confront her personal dramas with extraordinary insight and humour.
