What happens

Girls on Top is a British sitcom, broadcast on ITV in 1985 and 1986, and made by Allan McKeown's WitzEnd Productions for the ITV contractor Central Independent Television. It starred Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Ruby Wax and Tracey Ullman with Joan Greenwood. It was written by French, Saunders, and Wax, with additional material for two episodes ("Four-Play", "Ident: Candy Time"), written by Ullman. The show focused on four female child-like flatmates and their landlady. It was a female version of The Young Ones, two series of which were made in 1982 and 1984. French and Saunders had both previously guest starred in The Young Ones twice and like most of its stars, they were members of The Comic Strip. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
