I really enjoyed the programme, in particular because this episode was also a vehicle for Josie Long, who is one of a the few moderately well-known young female comedians, and probably the most openly feminist (although this was the first time I'd ever seen JL wearing obvious make-up; not sure if this was inadvertent, or if it was a pre-emptive strike against being called a scruffy hag). In this context, she and Frankie Boyle were a good combination because they are so different from one another, especially when it turned out that there are some levels of misogyny that shock even Frankie Boyle. The exchange about women plumbers will probably stay with me for a while.
