Bosom Pals, a double-bill of animated specials featuring the voice of Dawn French starts on Monday.
In Radio Times magazine, producer Claudia Lloyd recalls asking Dawn to take part: 'Would she be willing to work on the project -- both on the scripts and as a voice -- and did she like Beryl Cook [on whose paintings the animation is based]?
'"Yes; yes; and like Beryl Cook? I bloody LOVE Beryl Cook! Not only that but I lived in Plymouth [where most of Beryl's paintings are set] and I know every nook and cranny of those paintings."'
Bosom Pals' starry cast also includes Alison Steadman and Timothy Spall. BBC ONE, Monday 26 January 2004, 10.35 pm.
