Arterton's bottle-blonde Barbara Parker ditches Blackpool for swinging 60s London in this Nick Hornby adaptation. Plus, Grayson Perry boards the soul train ...

But will a desert trip or a more traditional day of glamour and luxury turn the most profit? For the third and final leg of his very English tour, the artist journeys through the north of England mostly to celebrate the region’s music scene. She plays Barbara Parker – the beaming bottle-blonde who ditches her Miss Blackpool Belle title, jumps on a train to London, changes her name to Sophie Straw and elbows her way into the world of TV comedy.

Adapted from a Nick Hornby novel, this stylish period comedy-drama about a beauty queen turned TV comedian isn't quite the sum of its parts.

It falls to the soundtrack to do a lot of the work in creating the period feel. The girl is in the show to play the voice of reason, not to play the fool.” But Barbara wins him round, and the show becomes a hit. [Rupert Everett](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2023/02/02/rupert-everett-naked-sharon-stones-legs/) appears beneath layers of latex make-up and a fat suit, playing a gone-to-seed agent called Brian Debenham. The charm of Funny Woman rests on Arterton, who makes the six episodes worth watching. But, this being a 2023 show, all of the characters we’re meant to root for are tremendously modern and right-on, despite living in 1960s Britain. And speaking of periods: this is the first glossy costume drama I can remember in which a female character realises that she’s started bleeding all over her cream trousers just as she’s about to go out in public. More of a problem are the bits in which Barbara, as opposed to Arterton, is supposed to be funny. And deconstructing comedy – showing us how the writers devise and refine every line – takes all of the laughs out of it. Occasionally, it is smart about class: when Barbara’s forward-thinking friend says she dislikes Carry On films because the women are stereotyped, Barbara replies: “Oh. The TV boss to whom they’re pitching is sceptical: “In my vast experience, good looks and comic ability rarely go hand in hand. She idolises Lucille Ball and wants to be a British version, goofing and pratfalling her way through comedy sketches. Arterton plays a 1960s beauty queen from Blackpool who works (where else?) in a factory making sticks of rock.

It’s a prequel to the Kevin Costner rancher drama Yellowstone (and a sequel to 1883), with Harrison Ford in his first major TV role. A sort of British take on [The Marvellous Mrs Maisel](https://inews.co.uk/culture/television/the-marvelous-mrs-maisel-season-4-review-prime-video-rachel-brosnahan-midge-1470784), the light-hearted six-part comedy follows Barbara’s journey into the world of light entertainment and how she ends up stealing the show on a hit TV comedy. In Manchester, meanwhile, he meets musician Paul Heaton of the Beautiful South, whose home boasts an eccentric collection of objects celebrating the North and discusses why Northern pride continues to be very real. Ten years later, this became the first big cold case investigation undertaken by forensics scientist Dr Angela Gallop, who describes the painstaking process by which she was able to identify the DNA of the real killer – a suspect who came to be known as “cellophane man” because of the blood traces he left [ Gemma Arterton](https://inews.co.uk/culture/television/gemma-arterton-black-narcissus-cast-bbc-christmas-drama-798806?ico=in-line_link) plays Barbara Parker — a 1964 Miss Blackpool winner who decides to rescind her beauty pageant crown and head for the bright lights of Swinging London. While one team shows off the glitz and glam of the location, the other goes for a more traditional approach in the desert.

There is a big degree of wish fulfilment, then, in her latest role, playing fictional working-class Blackpool beauty queen turned comic actress, Barbara Parker, ...

She says the role allowed her to display her true self: someone who is funny and goofy. “We did this workshop where I just wore a red nose and was finding my inner clown,” she remembers. “There are scenes in Funny Woman where I’ve put the metaphorical nose on.” Barbara is told to change her name to Sophie Straw because it sounds classier and ensures men will think about rolling in the hay with her. The drama harks back to a time of change in every way. When I was making this, I was thinking of the singers Marianne Faithfull and Cilla Black and what they experienced.” “People judge you by how you talk,” she says. “It felt natural to play her and didn’t feel like a massive stretch. “Now they celebrate the regional accent at drama school but when I was there, nearly 20 years ago, it was all about learning how to speak posh,” says Gemma who attended RADA in London. Gemma Arterton knows how tough it is to be both working class and female in the entertainment industry. “Women were accessories in comedy; comedy was particularly sexist. Growing up in a Kent council house, Gemma Arterton faced snobbery and sexism as a struggling actress.

She wants more from life than just being a beauty queen, working in a rock shop and becoming a wife. “There’s something about her I connected with; I think it’s her sense of humour and her wit and what she comes up against. And I just loved the character.
