Girls On Top - The Complete Series

Girls On Top - The Complete Series

The nation's favourite comedienne Dawn French stars as Amanda, who discovers the hard way that a Chelsea postcode doesn't come cheap. She has no alternative but to get three flatmates that will hopefully be in tune with her feminist values. Unfortunately, she strikes out on that score and is lumbered with scheming disco diva Candice (Tracey Ullman - Three Of A Kind), crashing bore Jennifer (Jennifer Saunders - French And Saunders, Absolutely Fabulous) and motor-mouth, manic, spoilt brat American Shelley (Ruby Wax - Ruby Wax Meets...). And then there is her frankly mad-as-a-hater landlady (Joan Greenwood - The Importance Of Being Earnest) who receives her daily exercise by taking her stuffed dog for a walk... Revel in flatmate hell as they all try to further themselves at the expense of each other!

With hilarious scripts written by French, Saunders and Wax, three of the leading lights in British alternative comedy, Girls On Top is one of the great all-female British comedies and will appeal to all fans of the genre. The series also guest stars Helen Lederer, Robbie Coltrane, Harry Enfield, Hugh Laurie, Pauline Quirke, John Sessions, Alan Rickman and the Beverley Sisters.

First released: Monday 22nd January 2007
