    The revelation between these two is one of the greatest plot twists in TV history.

    One of the many things that made this series so great was the way that they played believable female characters and didn't do drag for laughs.
    This is priceless and the relationship between Iris and Mrs L, one of the highlights.

      @Crom Drag has nothing to do with being transgender, it's just like any other kind of performance art and all genders are allowed to do it. Not only that but Reece and Mark here are playing two cis women which they do all across this show since they along with Steve Pemberton play the vast majority of the cast no matter what the character's gender is

    I put a friend onto this after I forgot about it for 20 years - he was blown away and made a passing comment that it was a sketch show. I hadn't even considered it was, but underneath I suppose he was right. BUT, it was so cleverely done that 20 years back it was truly like it's own boxset series about a small town. So clever.
