Featured review
A slice of the seventies
Pauline's Quirkes almost has to be seen to be believed. It's a chat show with sketches starring UK actress Pauline Quirke when she was about 16/17, also featuring her later Birds of a Feather co-star Linda Robson.
What's uncanny is that these actresses have not changed in hairstyle, appearance, and mannerisms in nearly half a century. When you first watch Pauline's Quirkes, having only seen the actresses' later work, you find yourself wondering if this a skit where the adult actresses are "playing themselves" as young teenagers.
But no - that's Pauline and Linda in their teens. Same hair, same style, same dynamic.
It's worth catching an episode for the curiosity value and for nostalgia about UK teenage culture in the mid-1970s.
