Radio sitcom focusing on Faye, a woman who wants to lead a glamorous lifestyle but is thwarted by laziness, disorganisation and work commitments.

Our Review: The first series of this sitcom provided some bite-sized amusement to the ears, but this was somewhat at the expense of men (portrayed, in the main, as idiots).

The episodes in the second series were extended to thirty minutes each, allowing time for longer adventures and some new characters to be introduced (more ineffectual men!).

Some felt this second series was an improvement on the first. However, on reflection, we think we preferred the first series more. It was stronger when the focus was more squarely on the battle between Faye and her boss Edith.
