Dawn French's Girls Who Do Comedy is an interview series shown on BBC Four, broadcast for one series in 2006.[1] In the series, Dawn French interviewed some of the most prolific comedians of the century, from Phyllis Diller to Catherine Tate and asked about life, love, family and comedy. The series was shown as three episodes featuring clips from French's various interviews with different comedians; however, from 25 to 30 December 2006 BBC Four showed six full interviews, each lasting 20–30 minutes https://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/dawnfrench/.
