Women in Comedy

Whilst channel-hopping on sunday evening I happened upon a programme about women comedians. It is becoming increasingly rare to find a TV programme on after 9pm which is not an excuse for soft-porn, so I was shocked to find a programme featuring funny but fully clothed women comedians and not jumped-up glamour models.

What has the world gone mad! I thought that the watershed meant that only DD silcone enhanced glamour models were allowed on TV.

Well the BBC have just started a new series on Sundays at 10.15 pm on BBC One. Dawn French's Girls Who Do Comedy features the wonderfully funny Dawn French interviewing women comedians. Two more episodes are still to be shown over the next two sundays. This will definitely be on my watch list.

BBC Four will also be showing some of the interviews in full.

  • Whoopi Goldberg - Wed 20 September 10.00pm-10.30pm
  • Catherine Tate - Wed 27 September 10.00pm-10.30pm
  • Kathy Burke - Wed 4 October 10.00pm-10.30pm
  • Julie Walters - Wed 11 October 10.00pm-10.30pm
  • Victoria Wood - Wed 18 October 10.00pm-10.30pm
