Rebecca Front (The Thick of It, Nighty Night, The Day Today) stars in this series about five extraordinary and unforgettable characters in Incredible Women.

In each programme less-than-intrepid interviewer Jeremy spends one night in the home of each of his interviewees. On their territory, he asks about their personal histories, plus we discover some very odd things about the way they live their daily lives. These 'actuality' interviews are interspersed with interviews Jeremy has done with famous voices who have been 'affected' in one way or another by the central character of each episode.

Today Jeremy meets Valerie Panther, the doyenne of British television. Valerie has been the genius behind almost every seminal TV programme for forty years and she has recently been asked by Number 10 to be the new broadcast integrity tzar. But when Jeremy meets her only son Piers, he reveals there are a lot of disgruntled writers and stars who've got together in an online campaign saying she has cheated her way to the top.

This is the only time you will ever hear the nicest-man-in-the-world Barry Cryer saying anything nasty about anyone. And boy does he make up for lost time.
