Need a laugh? It's French and Saunders to the rescue
When the days are cold and dark and the times are bleak, you have to take the laughs where you can get them. So thank goodness for Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, charging to the rescue like knights on a white stallion - or perhaps more like two drunk aunties on a pantomime horse.
