- Synopsis:
In 1987, having began their television careers with 'The Comic Strip Presents'...and 'Girls on Top', Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders launched their own sketch show. Together, they would go on to complete six series - the look and style constantly changing, but keeping the same mix of special guest stars, manic, bickering performances, musical pastiche and movie spoofs. This is testament to their consistently hilarious shows and a tribute to French and Saunders, who still command the accolade of Britain's most successful, and funniest, female duo...Parodies and songs from Abba, Sonia, The Sound of Music; along with the usual F&S characters including the Two Fat Ladies and Star Pets. Guest appearance from Kirsty MacColl...Pastiche of 1973's horror classic "The Exorcist"; parody of BBC's consumer investigation program "Watchdog", and in rehearsal are rap duo "She Rappers" plus a performance from Kirsty MacColl. And lots of early 90's Power Suits...Dawn and Jennifer make some Dangerous Liaisons in a wicked send-up of the Glenn Close film and they target singer Tanita Takaram and artist Andy Warhol... - Actors:
