There must be someone watching this hysterical show!

Seeing the Brontes slagging each other off - so funny!

Borefest · 31/05/13 - 02:14

I am watching and you are right the Brontes are:D:D:D

I've enjoyed the whole series, and the previous one last year. Lots of little dramas, comedies or just plain arty half hours. All totally different (although the one you mention was also done last year).

The only one I didn't watch was the Nixon episode. It just bored me from the start.

Who was Julia Davis's character?. Margot Fontaine lol!!

I thought it was really funny.

Loved the Bronte's Ffing and blinding. Also Sylvia Plath morphing into Pam Ayres.

Actually I thought that all the characters worked really well from the annoying Audrey Hepburn to Bette Davis and Joan Crawford trying to beat each other up.

It was great fun.

I enjoyed the episode last year so I'm glad that its returned for a full series.
The high point was Sylvia Plath channeling Pam Ayres

The Bette and Joan skit went on a little too long for me and I have to say that I really didn't like the 'joke' about Bette's disabled daughter.

Great stuff overall. I've read that Princess Diana will be a character in an upcoming episode - that should be interesting!

Can't wait for next week!

Of course, no one will even know it exists so it'll not do anything!

I loved it too. Mainly worked although I agree with the above comment about the Joan/Bette ones going on a little too long. It's true that it wont get a large audience though. What chance it's repeated on Sky One? This could also sit well on BBC Four.

Is anybody still watching this series?

The way they handled Princess Diana was just perfect

Is it too soon?

Loved it.

I'm really loving this, have to say Sharon Hogan has been the highlight. Her Virginia Woolf and Cleopatra had me in stitches.

candyfloss2000 · 16/06/13 - 20:19

when is this show on?

chuffnobbler · 04/12/14 - 10:37

I've just discovered this.

Kathy Burke as the Queen Mum was fantastic. Liza Tarbuck can do no wrong, and was perfect as Miss Muffett. Frances Barber as filthy Elizabeth the First (do you regret not having had children, Elizabeth?): I roared with laughter.

It's a hoot, and I have immediately clicked the series link.

Terry.R · 04/12/14 - 16:50

Sharon Hogan as Carmen Miranda - just brilliant.

chuffnobbler · 04/12/14 - 17:19

Michelle Gomez as Thatcher. Glorious!

Yo Omars Comin · 04/12/14 - 18:37

This is brilliant. Love Rebecca Front and will watch her in practically anything. It's an excellent cast all round to be honest. Wonderfully wacky show.

Sky don't do the promotion of this show any favours by needlessly censoring the title to 'Psychob*****s" in its on-air and EPG descriptions.

cotton tail · 04/12/14 - 19:27

It's the best programme on TV!!

It's probably other rules from OFCOM or something.

Comedy Central do the same with some South Park episodes.

I do watch Sky Arts but to mostly watch Tales of The Unexpected or a production of a Shakespeare play. I have never heard or seen this show.

I adore Psychobitches!

I love the way for this second series they've kind of extended some of the scenes away from the psychiatrist's office. The Bronte Sisters song at the end of the (I think) second episode last week was just sublime.

I love it too. I've only seen the first episode of this series so far but if the Bronte Sisters song is as littered with swear words as their appearance in the first series it should be good. Look forward to watching it over the weekend.

I've now gone back and commenced series one. Sam Spiro (love her!) as Audrey Hepburn. Glorious. I see what people mean about the Davis/Crawford stuff going on a bit long, and it reminded me of French & Saunders doing the same stuff 25yrs ago. Still, plenty of laughs here. Sylvia Plath as Pam Ayres was a treat, too. And the sweary Bronte sisters.

chuffnobbler · 10/12/14 - 11:07

Ted Robbins as Les Dawson as Emmeline Pankhurst.

Utter bliss.

StaxVolt · 10/12/14 - 18:07

The Lucille Ball depiction is spot-on as I remember her,and funny too (always a bonus) ... in fact the whole show is firmly "series-linked".

chuffnobbler · 16/12/14 - 09:37

This just gets better and better and better.

Mrs Noah. Fantastic.

Have you ever eaten a phoenix? They cook themselves. They're like a bloody readymeal

Frances Barber continues to amaze. Sam Spiro can do no wrong.

Hey there!
