French & Saunders: Titting About (Series 1)

I started listening to *French & Saunders: Titting About* expecting a polished, produced comedy series, so when the first episode kicked off with Dawn French casually admitting she once got locked in a bathroom for “a while,” I realized this was something far more intimate. The narration isn’t just solid—it’s gloriously unrefined, with both women trading barbs, switching accents, and occasionally getting so carried away they forget to wrap up a story before launching into a new one. It’s messy in the best way, like a favorite sweater that’s a little pilly but still your most comfortable one. My biggest critique? The editing is sparse enough that when a phone rings or a door slams in the background, it momentarily pulls you out of the illusion that you’re part of their little world. That said, those moments are rare and add to the charm. The pacing is relentless, with Saunders’ dry wit clashing perfectly against French’s more theatrical energy. Standout moments include their *very* detailed breakdown of a disastrous cruise ship performance and a side-splitting imitation of a posh dinner party gone wrong. If you’re a fan of their work, you’ll hear the love letters to their careers in every anecdote. If you’re not, you will be by the end. Just don’t listen in public—you will snort-laugh, and that’s a wellness hazard.
