SYNOPSIS

Hosted by the Grand Dame of British comedy Penelope Keith, this hilarious collection of clips and interviews pays tribute to British television's finest female comediennes and is sure to have you laughing till it hurts.

Join Patricia Routledge (Keeping Up Appearances), Dawn French (The Vicar of Dibley), Prunella Scales (Fawlty Towers), Mollie Sugden (Are You Being Served?), and many more funny ladies in this celebration of their careers. New interviews are combined with clips of their funniest moments, and the memorable characters they portrayed. Think of social climber extraordinaire Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "bouquet," of course), that chocolate-guzzling vicar, Geraldine Grainger, and Sybil Fawlty, whose cry of "BASIL!" still inspires fear and laughter after thirty years!

Going behind the scenes of the most successful British comedies, The Funny Ladies of British Comedy asks the question, "Who makes these funny ladies laugh?" Comedy lovers will relish the opportunity to hear their favourite female comediennes describe their inspirations and experiences in their own words.

Special features: Brand new interviews with Patricia Routledge, Mollie Sugden, Dawn French and Jon Plowman (producer of Absolutely Fabulous and Vicar of Dibley).
