Dawn French's Girls Who Do: Comedy

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

For everyone who likes a female stand-up comedian, this was quite essential viewing as Dawn French chats to some of the UK and America's most well-known talents. From all types of comedy background, she chatted to pretty much all of them. They talked about their careers, comedy experiences, what they think makes people laugh, and what they would have done if they hadn't got in comedy. It was remarkable to see the amount of famous faces were in the programme, but also the reality of knowing just how famous some of them are, and them talking to Dawn French! Starring Morwenna Banks, Sandra Bernhardt, Jo Brand, Eleanor Bron, Kathy Burke, Margaret Cho, Denise Coffey, Phyllis Diller, Jenny Eclair, Mo Gaffney, Mel Giedroyc, Whoopi Goldberg, Sheila Hancock, Helen Lederer, Miriam Margolyes, Penny Marshall, Kathy Najimy, Sue Perkins, Miss Piggy, Joan Rivers, Rita Rudner, Jennifer Saunders, Sarah Silverman, Linda Smith, Laura Solon, Jessica Stevenson, Meera Syal, Wanda Sykes, Lisa Tarbuck, Catherine Tate, Tracey Ullman, Julie Walters, Ruby Wax, Victoria Wood and Gina Yashere. Very good!
