Barbara Windsor winds down her series celebrating female giants of American comedy with the inimitably outrageous Phyllis Diller, now 94 and still living in her glamorous Los Angeles home. Roseanne Barr, Ruby Wax and writer David Sedaris all contribute to a profile of the woman credited as America's first stand-up, whose exhaustive CV also includes film, stage and record performances.

I award five funny bones to Health And Efficiency (BBC1) and Bottom (BBC2). Four to Ellen and Roseanne (both Channel 4). Three to Fantasy Football League and Darts (both BBC2). Two to The High Life for Cumming and Masson, a double act working with a pair of scissors.
