There is lots of humour in her story and, despite being told to keep her mouth shut when smiling, because she lost her front teeth playing cricket, she grins and her narrative is delivered with fun and panache. Credit must also go to Hannah Edwards' wingman, Benedict Salter whose startlingly fast changes of character amuse.
