Brilliant series. Capturing the mood at the time and experience of women particularl trying to break into show business . Gemma Arterton captures the character brilliantly. Such a talented actress. All the characters play their roles superbly. The mention of the Beatles, Rolling Stones and especially Peter Cook and Dudley Moor is so nostalgic.

The story weaves around some topical subjects of the time whilst creating the story of Barbara's ambition to make something of herself and hoping to become a leading comic actress but coming up against stuffy heads of departments with archaic rules and regulations in TV.

Gemma does a magnificent job, such a natural actress.
