I was the first woman at the British Broadcasting Corporation to direct sitcoms. Back in 1982. Way, way before #MeToo. It was a solitary, confusing world I stepped into and one that was to mould me as a director and a woman. Before I embark on what may become a “deranged-eyes-through-matted-hair” rant, I have to mention that there are many men in this industry who have supported me, enchanted me and made me laugh until I cried. Men who became long-lasting, lovely friends. You know who you are.
