Synopsis
Funny Woman (2023) is a British comedy series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Oliver Parker and based on Nick Hornby's novel. London in the 1960s — television comedy has a slot for women, and it's somewhere off-camera.
Barbara Parker arrives from Blackpool carrying a beauty queen sash she never really wanted. Making people laugh is the only thing she's good at and, she suspects, the only thing worth being good at. Jemma Arterton plays Barbara in what's essentially a charm offensive — against the industry, against the era, against anyone who thinks a girl from the seaside shouldn't get her own sitcom. Tom Bateman and Rupert Everett round out the cast.
The show knows the period well enough not to be preachy about it. Stream Funny Woman (2023) online on iFILM.
