A shade of the 'Footlights Review' this series of sketches written and performed by Eleanor Bron and John Fortune coolly dissected political and social topics in the style still seen in Fortune's 'Bird and Fortune' sketches. Bron went on to give some memorable performances in films and, latterly, cameo roles such as Patsy's mother in Ab Fab. I haven't seen this series on tape or DVD so it may have been wiped: worth watching if found if only for Fortune's Single-Handed Yachtsman arriving in Portsmouth Harbour to find that his girlfriend has stowed away throughout the journey - or the original of the sketch where an old crone moans about her hard life scrubbing night and day and then reveals the step she's scrubbing belongs to her millionaire son.
