Where did Dawn French get her wig from? My friend needs one for a dressing up party, she wants to go as Amy Winehouse.

Please help us if you can. Cheers!

Dawn probably got her wig from the big ol' BBC costume wardrobe department....

Hi there does anyone know where I can get a copy of an early sketch, probably from early 1990's with Dawn and Jennifer on ponies, doing a 'pony club' type scene, chasing ponies round a field trying to catch them, etcIt was excellent, and one of my favourite sketches.

French and Saunders. Have you seen "Project Runway" on BravoTV? You have to do a sketch of this show...so much fun you could have!! Also, I emailed the Academy and suggested that they have you two do a sketch/film spoof. They have actually answered my emails before. Everyone email them and suggest Saunders/French!

If I have one thing to say about leaving 2007 (apart from the I will never eat again I want to be a size ZERO, No more tabs, they are way to unhealthy and the alchohol is banned I will never enjoy myself again, that is until the 2nd January 2008 anyway) please please please french and saunders, never ever leave us. Without you our lives would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo drab and boring.

Dawn, I love you to bits, thats in a women to women way, Im not a lesbian.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
