The Tea Ladies

It could have made a series, but it hasn&apos;t aged well.

Westminster tea ladies Min and Vi are a little jealous that their colleague, cleaning lady Lil has been awarded an MBE, but they still throw a party to celebrate her good fortune.

I think I knew what was coming, when you see the name Johnny Speight in the credits, you know to expect some racist language, and there is quite a lot of it, it&apos;s unpalatable.

Some of the dialogue however is phenomenal, and the acting talents of Dandie Nichols, Molly Sugden and Patricia Hayes are incredible, the gags about Churchill, MPs and feet are actually funny.

That scene where Sugden does a monologue with a statue of Churchill shows how good she was.

It&apos;s a shame it didn&apos;t become a series, this definitely had some potential, the jokes they could have had with MPs of all flavours, it could have worked.

6/10.
