Maybe it's just me but I can't believe how much Maxine Peake looks like a young Miranda Richardson .
Perhaps the red wig made me think of Queenie from Blackadder

Well what a disappointment. I smiled a bit a couple of times, but after about 20 minutes I lost interest and changed channel. The redhead looked like Miranda Richardson (as noted already) but was presented more like a batty Anna Wintour than the creature she really is. NOT FUNNY. 
Wasn't that the GLC? One of my favourites, but helps if you were in London at the time to really get it. Kate Bush (sigh!) sang the theme tune and appeared in a later episode as a bride at a chaotic wedding reception.
Of course it was , my mistake. Remember Dawn French playing Joan Ruddock, as Cher

It never was funny. Seriously, was it meant to be?
Always just seemed like a pointless exercise in self-indulgences for wannabee 'creative people' to me.

It was nice to see a MkIII Capri on the telly again, usually have to watch re runs of the Professionals for that.

A saving grace, maybe - but hardly worth watching the rest for, surely?

Having worked at News International at Wapping and visited the Grauniad's old Farringdon Road HQ a few times, I have to say it caught the atmosphere of both pretty well! Maxine Peake is far prettier than the appalling Rebekah, but her character showed the same competence and attention to detail as the real thing ...

Well it was nowhere near as bad as some are making out. Ok I didn't laugh out loud but I did have a grin on my face through most of it.
Then again, Comic Strip isn't something I usually laugh out loud too, well maybe on the odd occasion but I've never found it that type of comedy series.

Disappointing. Bit like a sneery sixth form review put together by 50 year olds who can't write humour.
