Penguin presents the audiobook model of East of Croydon written and go through by Sue Perkins.

A few years ago I was asked if I’d like to make a documentary in the Mekong River, travelling in the huge delta in Vietnam to the remote control and snowy peaks of Tibet.

Up until that point, the farthest East I’d been was Torremolinos, in the Costa Del Sol.

Here’s finished .:

I actually am scared of soaring.

I have no practical skills.

I can’t survive easily am greater than a three minute walk from a supermarket.

For the last seven years I’ve had to endure crippling anxiety

We bolt when panicked.

I cannot carry to witness human beings or pets in distress

I have no ability to learn languages.

I am an awful hypochondriac

And I am zero good with boats.

THEREFORE I said yes.
