French & Saunders: Pointed, Bitchy, Bitter

[Funky]

Anyone planning to watch this?

It’s on tonight, 90 minute documentary/interview about their careers.

Some interesting anecdotes from the BBC website article to promote the show, including Dawn revealing the moment she knew it was over - the TOTP sketch with Anastacia. (Didn’t know that and based on the clip neither did Jennifer).

‘I felt humiliated’ – Dawn French and the sketch that ended hit BBC show - BBC News

A new documentary shines a light on how the famous duo helped change the comedy landscape for women.

That is definitely mentioned in her The Twat Files book, and I'm fairly sure she said she discussed it with Jennifer, so that's odd

I'll be watching for sure, although probably not live.

Same I’ll watch it during the week at some point.

I read an article about this on the train home today and was surprised to read about the Anastacia thing. I had mostly stopped watching by then but was surprised to read it was because Dawn felt humiliated by that sketch rather than that it had become a bit stale. A shame she went through feeling that about herself.

Didn't watch Imagine, but I am enjoying French & Saunders At The Movies again right now.

So basically Anastacia didn't just kill her own career in 2008...
