Funny Woman - Season 2 (2024 Morwenna Banks)

Oliver Parker directed. This is new material not based on Nick Hornby's writings.

The Gemma Arterton character is still trying to fight her way through sexism and old-fashioned values. At least finds an agent, an American. Just 4 x 45 this time.

Friends: Alexa Davies (rather good, I think) and Clare-Hope Ashitey. Writers Leo Bill and Matthew Beard. Useful new lawyer friend Lydia Leonard, Josie Lawrence (didn't recognise her). Director / lover Arsher Ali (who we just saw in Arthur and George). Barmaid Roisin Conaty comes in to save the show.



Good comedy routine at end proves the show will be a hit. Definitely room for one more.
