French and Saunders marks one of the greatest comedic pairings of all time. Jennifer and Dawn are completely hilarious. They both have very funny projects they each do alone, but when they come together for their 'French and Saunders' specials, the results are brilliant. They are hilarious as young school girls in several different skits. Jennifer Saunders is hilarious spoofing Mel C from the Spice Girls and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Dawn French is great as Barbara Streisand, and ALL of "the Coors" sisters. Together, their Thelma and Louise, Boyzone, and Titanic impressions, among many more are priceless. Definitely my favorite British comedy of all time.

There is no doubt that French and Saunders is by far one of the best sketch comedy shows in the history of television. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders- formerly the Tampon Sisters- are considered comedy royalty in Britian and recently received a well deserved Lifetime Achievement Award at the British Comedy Awards.Although not what it used to be in the 80s and (especially) the 90s, French and Saunders are still near the top of the food-chain of comedy. The magic of earlier episodes is you didn't need to know what they were spoofing to bust a gut. In later episodes, you almost need to know what they're spoofing and watch it forwards and back. For example, a Kill Bill sketch featuring decapitation made five viewers send off letters of complaint. Had they seen the Kill Bill movies, it is more than likely they would have understood the joke.French and Saunders will probably be around until the end of time and even then, there will still be new episodes.

The two comedians have been friends for a very long time. This is the programme that proves that friendship, and their talent. Twice BAFTA nominated Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders write and star in this really good comedy sketch show where they play themselves (as part of the jokes), Hollywood stars, singers, blokes and some other good things. Dawn French is the big one with the talent of being like a clown, and Jennifer Saunders is the thin one who has a face that can become nearly anyone (famous). Some of the best examples of their talent are "The Egg" episode where they do a spoof of The Lord of the Rings. The other better example of good comedy they do together was for Comic Relief where they spoofed Harry Potter. These two have even won themselves an award for their talent. It won the BAFTA for Best Make Up/Hair (out for four nominations, and it was nominated for Best Light Entertainment (Programme or Series) (three times) and Best VTR Editor. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders were number 31 on The Comedians' Comedian, and Saunder was number 19, and French number 4 on Britain's Favourite Comedian, the Christmas Specials were number 19 on The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments, and The Silence of the Lambs sketch was number 13 on The 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches. Very good!
