From the Back Cover
Think of "Keeping Up Appearances'" social climber extraordinaire Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge), and how about that chocolate-guzzling vicar, Geraldine Grainger (Dawn French) of "The Vicar of Dibley." And who can forget Sybil Fawlty (Prunella Scales), whose cry of "BASIL!" still inspires fear and laughter after nearly thirty years? Join them and their talented, funny colleagues for this celebration of their careers and contributions. Combining new interviews with clips of their funniest moments, "The Funny Ladies of British Comedy" takes you behind the scenes of your favorite Britcoms, and answers the question, "Who makes these funny ladies laugh?" With Dawn French, Judi Dench, Prunella Scales, Patricia Routledge, Mollie Sugden, Penelope Keith.

Customer Reviews

Enjoyable -- once
This is well-done, pleasant entertainment, but provides no revelatory insights. Certainly, these are funny ladies worthy of recognition.

The clips are on the short side, and the documentary runs for little more than an hour. The extras are somewhat interesting extended interviews that in some cases duplicate what's in the documentary.

So, all in all, a DVD worth renting for a few chuckles, but not one most of us will want to buy for repeated viewings. By the way, almost all of the shows highlighted in this documentary are on DVD, so if you own those sets, then there's little reason to pick this up.
