Title: Funny Woman
Review Brilliant series set in early 60’s Mod/Canaby street, London. Gemma Arterton Is simply luminous in the title role of a small town girl from rural north of England who wants to be more than Miss Blackpool. Woman’s lib, Gay rights, anti-censorship all in embryonic states and dealt with straight on in this this well set and very funny show with a who’s who cast of British character actors. Fantastic music, costumes, sense of the he times. Just loved this show. Can’t miss watching this one. Renewed for second season without a doubt.
