Rebecca Front and Jeremy Front look at the lives of some incredible women.

Rebecca Front and brother Jeremy explore the world of children's author and wolf enthusiast Eleanor Fane-Gore. With the help of Graham Norton, Michael Rosen and and Laura Solon.

Rebecca Front (The Thick of It, Nighty Night, The Day Today) stars in this series about five extraordinary and unforgettable characters in Incredible Women. 

In each programme less-than-intrepid interviewer Jeremy spends one night in the home of each of his interviewees. On their territory, he asks about their personal histories, plus we discover some very odd things about the way they live their daily lives. These 'actuality' interviews are interspersed with insert interviews Jeremy has done with famous voices who have been 'affected' in one way or another by the central character of each episode.

In the first episode, Michael Rosen and Graham Norton reveal their lingering disdain for Eleanor Fane-Gore, writer of bullying children's tales and purveyor of fascist doctrines.
