In an hour-and-a-half career retrospective, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders resisted it for about eight minutes. Imagine... French And Saunders: And they even gave it a self-mocking badge, as well as a tepid and Bitter (BBC1). At the start, friends assembled to announce what pathetic people they are and how difficult it is to work with. Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins agreed, 'Narcissists.' I feared their jobs,' Kathy Burke narrates. However, the Yentob Effect takes all jokes and ensures that no scrap of levity is able to escape. In a sketch where they played 'free-runners' or urban gymnasts, the French and Saunders learned this and mocked it 20 years ago, showing off their leaps and leaps to Alan Yentob himself.

Many members of the working class had no intention of becoming actors or famous, but Anna Scher, a business legend who died on November 12 at the age of 78, made them into some of the country's biggest names in television and film.

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 8, 2023

However, even deluding herself a little as she prepared to be 58 on Kathy Burke: Growing Up (Ch4). Enility began at 40, she said, and anyone approaching 60 was also decrepit.

Millennials don't just think of our generation as dinosaurs; they assume that by 58, we're functionally extinct.
