- 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... Clever send up of 90's action/drama "Baywatch", and pastiche of Lynda La Plante's TV crime drama "Prime Suspect", with the show's main star Helen Mirren trying her hand at situation comedy...Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders present a series of new comedy sketch shows. Targets tonight include Mel Gibson's film Braveheart, the luxurious lifestyle enjoyed by Jackie Onassis , and singer Bjork... - Actors:
