The laugh-out-loud funny girl-series returns. This time Nats off on a geography field trip. It should be a chance to get away, but Embarrassing Dads not far behind. Unfortunately! From TV and radio comedy writing talent Nigel Smith.
Nats class is going on a week-long field trip to hunt for fossils. Cue: mouldy log cabins, potholing, map reading and more totally boring geography stuff all the things that Nat hates and Dad loves! Of COURSE he volunteers to come along on the trip as a parent helper.
Normally Nat would strictly forbid Dads attendance BUT hes finally applied for a proper job teaching survival skills to juvenile delinquents which will keep him busy and stop him interfering in her life! If all goes well on this trip, hell definitely get the job. Nat just needs to keep Dad away from the canoes and anything involving a zip wire, oh and perhaps they shouldnt venture up the rather treacherous-looking mountain Bleak Peak during the strongest storm of all time

Nigel Smith has been a journalist, busker, TV comedy producer and script writer, winning an award for his BBC 4 radio comedy, VENT, based on his own life-threatening brain illness. More importantly, he has been - and still is - an embarrassing Dad. Much like Natalia Botface, his three children are continually mortified by his ill-advised trousers, comedic hats, low quality jokes, poorly chosen motor vehicles, unique sense of direction and unfortunate ukulele playing. Unlike his hero Ivor Bumole, he doesnt write Christmas cracker jokes for a living. Yet.
