Women over 60 are considered past it. We don't have a life, we're supposed to sit around and wait for death I think. Once you've had your children, and brought them up you supposedly have no other purpose in life. And let's face it the media is only just beginning to catch on. I've been banging on about it for ages, but there's a huge audience of women over a certain age that television ignores. Where are the programmes? Show less «

[on A Little Bit of Wisdom: A Little Bit of Respect (1974)] I did a comedy series where Norman Wisdom, bless his little cotton socks, said, "We're going to do this scene now where I drop a pencil down the front of your dress and I look for it." "Oh, I see, is that funny?" "Oh, it'll be hysterical." So for ten minutes I stood there while he basically touched me up and you couldn't say anything because he was the master of comedy. And actually this was what women were there for, the joke was all about women. And I found it very depressing in the sense that I'd gone to drama school, burned my bra for women's lib and equality and there I was doing these bizarre things. Show less «
