James is everything Tish has ever wanted in a husband - she's married a man who even her mother approves of. She's convinced that if you cut James in half he'd have `Good Husband Material` stamped through him like a stick of Blackpool Rock. He's handsome, dependable, and will make an excellent father -unlike Tish's first love the disreputable Fergal. Her teenage sweetheart abandoned her for a music career and now lives a typical celebrity lifestyle. (Sex, drugs, rock and roll and - in one notable exploit - six nuns in a fountain!)
