She wants to be someone. The bright lights of London are calling, and our determined hero sets off to find out who that someone is. The London she encounters is not as quite as swinging as the one she'd read about and seen on TV. However, after a series of setbacks, Barbara finds herself in unfamiliar territory--an audition for a TV comedy show. Barbara's uncompromising northern wit proves to be the X-factor that the show has been missing. She gets the part and becomes part of a groundbreaking new sitcom. Being a woman in a largely male environment has its own challenges, but as Barbara "finds her funny" she re-defines the prevailing attitude to funny women--and in the process, reinvents herself. 508 $a Director, Oliver Parker. 650 0 $a Women television personalities $v Drama. 650 0 $a Youth $z Great Britain $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Drama. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century $v Drama. 655 7 $a Television comedies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical television programs. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Video recordings for the hearing impaired. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction television programs. $2 lcgft 655 2 $a Television series. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Arterton, Gemma, $e actor. 700 1 $a Parker, Oliver, $e television director. 700 1 $a Schlessinger, Paul, $e television producer. 700 1 $a Williams, Ross, $e television producer. 700 1 $a Banks, Morwenna, $e actor. $e actor. 700 1 $a Hornby, Nick, $e screenwriter. 700 1 $a Threlfall, David, $e actor. 700 1 $a Everett, Rupert, $e actor. 700 1 $a Ali, Arsher, $d 1984- $e actor. 700 1 $a Bateman, Tom, $d 1989- $e actor. 700 1 $a Bill, Leo, $e actor. 700 1 $a Ashitey, Clare-Hope, $d 1987- $e actor. 700 1 $a Davies, Alexa, $d 1995- $e actor. 700 1 $a Cavaliero, Rosie, $e actor. 700 1 $a Petrie, Alistair, $e author. 700 1 $i Television adaptation of (work): $a Hornby, Nick. $t Funny girl. 710 2 $a PBS Distribution (Firm), $e publisher. 941 $a 3 945 $a dvv 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025410.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240502010521.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012947.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CEBF2340F63611EE80258AC022ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
