The Problematic Gaze
Direct from PG Towers, join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture of yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. Each week we focus on a different piece of pop culture, and put it into context by looking at the news events and cultural landscape of the year it was released.
The Problematic Gaze
'Absolutely Fabulous' from 1994. Champers alright for you, Pats?
Crack open the Bolly! It's our 20th episode!! Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week, we cast our gaze on the PR and fashion world inhabited by the icons Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone, from the classic BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. In Episode 3 from Season 2, Pats and Eddy, take a trip to Marrakech. Unfortunately for Patsy, Edina's daughter Saffy tags along. What could possibly go wrong?
Also, Lee and Dave put in an exhausting 6 hour shift in London Town. And you are live on The Problematic Gaze, please do not swear!
You can watch Absolutely Fabulous on ITVX in the UK.
