WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
This
deliciously black comedy from
the BBC is a real treat, Julia
Davis, who also wrote the
series, stars as beautician Jill
Tyrell, who after discovering
her husband has terminal cancer,
is extremely eager to move on
and find a new relationship - in
fact Jill is decidedly sex
starved, there not having been
much going on in the bedroom
department for the last 15 years
with Terry.

Before
you can say "husband, what husband" Jill is exploring the
possibilities of meeting other men, there's a brilliantly cringeworthy
meeting with an onbessive Glen (played superbly by Mark Gatiss - all
frizzy hair and fake teeth), before firmly setting her sites on the
doctor who lives across the road, the Doctor Don Cole, played by a
bearded Angus Deayton is married to the disabled Cath and Jill is
determined to do everything in her power to win over Don.
Nighty
Night is very dark, the kind of show you watch with a hand half over
your eyes, Julia Davis has created a real gorgon of a character, one
however that is sure to go down as a TV great.

Whilst
it is sometimes painful to watch, Jill has no boundaries when it comes
to bad taste, Nighty Nighty is an extremely clever and funny series and
one that is not to be missed.

SPECIAL FEATURES?
