Review: Up The Women, BBC2

Are there a lot of misogynistic men out there being mean about this sitcom starring mostly women or is this actually rubbish? This got a bit of a thumping on Twitter last week so I thought I'd better have a closer look. You certainly can't fault the cast which includes Jessica Hynes and Rebecca Front. Not to mention an almost unrecognisable Vicki Pepperdine undergoing a positively De Niroesque transformation as Gwen attempting to spread their suffrage message when not spreading butter on sandwiches.
