Press clippings

Revolting Women (BBC2) the first of five feminist comedy shows produced by women who are "sick at the stereotyped and sexist images of women portrayed in the typical TV comedy show" sounds pompous enough to be funny. There is, as Thurber said, only one thing wrong with it. It is kinda lousy.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 19th September 1981
