In 1961, came the start of a memorable BBC sitcom, The Rag Trade. The show was a big hit and ran for 3 series. In 1969, Rag Trade writers Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney wrote Wild Wild Women. The show was pretty much the same as The Rag Trade, with two differences, different actors and it was set in Edwardian times.
Barbara Windsor starred in it (she was in The Rag Trade, but far lower down on the cast list) and she played Millie, who was the shop steward amongst the women working in a factory. The women consisted of: Daisy (Pat Coombs), Rubi (Toni Palmer- also in the Rag Trade), Blossom (Jessie Robbins), Ginny (Daphne Herd), Flo (Yvonne Paul)and Maude (Anna Karen- she would play Olive in Wolfe and Chesney's On the Buses). The management consisted of sexist boss Mr Harcourt (Paul Whitsun-Jones) and foreman Albert (Ken Platt). It was similar to The Rag Trade, as Millie was just like Paddy and the foreman would try and stay loyal to the boss, but the girls were to powerful for him. Also, they were using the firms material to make there own things. The difference with it being set in Edwardian times was that women weren't allowed to strike.
An episode of this was shown last Friday as part of the BBC's Edwardian series. It wasn't the best thing I've ever seen but I am very happy at the fact BBC4 opened up the archives and showed forgotten sitcoms. I hope they continue doing this. A few months after Wild Wild Women, Wolfe and Chesney would write the far more superior and popular masterpiece On the Buses.
