Funny Woman – Series 2

Funny Woman Season 2 will catch up with lovable Barbara Parker, aka telly comedy star Sophie Straw. Barbara is a working-class woman from Blackpool who in series one managed to make her name in a major TV sitcom.

As we rejoin, she’s finding that fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and desperately wants to make her own voice heard. But it’s not easy as a woman in the 1970s, particularly a beautiful one when the world sees you as little more than a comic muse.
