Screen Two: A Little Bit of Lippy

on BBC Two England

"There was no better escape from the week's gloom, wrote
Allison Pearson in The Independent when Martyn Hesford 's outrageous northern comedy was first screened in 1992. Kenneth Cranham and Rachel Davies star as the parents of 19-year-old Marian Fairley , who finds a pair of women's knickers in her husband's laundry.
Outraged to think he is havingan affair, she takes the TV, the microwave and the baby, and moves in with her parents down the road. But an even bigger shock awaits her.
Producer George Faber Director Chris Bemard
