Last year, I put together a blog post for Bang2Write listing my top ten female sitcom characters. I leaned heavily into the Americans. Sue me (please don't).

This time, I’m setting the record (slightly) straighter with a rundown of iconic women from British comedy. It’s not that the UK lacks funny women — far from it — but they’ve rarely been given centre stage the way their US counterparts have. (Where’s our I Love Lucy? Exactly.)

In this audio post, I revisit the original article and dive into my UK-centric list: the characters who defied stereotypes, stole scenes, and kept things funny, even when the scripts didn’t always help.

Hit play, nod along, shout your own suggestions into the void,  or better yet, message me with them.

Got a favourite I missed? Think someone doesn’t belong on the list? Come fight me (nicely). Stick around — it might get interesting.
