The Bad Mother's Handbook tells the story of a year in the lives of three unforgettable women... Karen (Catherine Tate), her teenage daughter Charlie (Holly Grainger) and Karen's mother, Nan (Anne Reid). Both hilarious and wise, it is a clear-eyed look at motherhood and childhood, the realisation that no two mothers are alike and that ultimately love is the most important thing of all. Karen gave birth to Charlie when she was a teenager and can't help feeling that accidental motherhood has meant she's missed out on life. What with looking after her increasingly dotty mother and keeping an eagle eye on her daughter to ensure she doesn't do anything to jeopardise her chances of going to University, she's got her work cut out for her, but there's something else. She can't put her finger on it, but something's niggling away at her. Somewhere along the line, something's gone wrong. And she's right. Because when Charlie and Nan both accidentally turn Karen's world upside down she's going to discover things that will change her life forever…
