This is the notion that has to stop if we are really going have parity of representation in comedy on TV

This is the notion that has to stop if we are really going have parity of representation in comedy on TV. Commissioning editors and schedulers need to see beyond this and start to make visible to a wider audience the female talent that is available and not to label it as a "women's" comedy show. Commission the comedy and not the gender politics.Of course there have been successful women in comedy - French and Saunders, Victoria Wood, Caroline Aherne, Jo Brand, Morwenna Banks - but why do we have to wait for them to retire before new female talent is allowed air time?Like Harry Thompson, I too produced Week Ending and bemoaned the lack of women writers. However, in the five years I have been with Radio Entertainment most of the sketch shows I have produced have been all male or a majority male cast.

I am producing Fellah's Hour with The Cheese Shop for Radio 4, which has a cast of six men. Can you ever imagine having a six-women sketch show commissioned?Maria Esposito is a producer with BBC Radio Entertainment and currently producing 'Prunella Scales' latest sitcom 'Smelling Of Roses' (starts on 3 May at 11:30am) on Radio 4. It is tough to make predictions, especially about the future. Here's one: that people will still be turning to their local newspapers a generation from now. It is tough to make predictions, especially about the future.

Here's one: that people will still be turning to their local newspapers a generation from now. One of my dot friends was talking the other day about the forthcoming demise of what he called the Dead Tree Daily. Halfway through a discourse on how one could get to the grassroots through a chatroom, I stopped him. I am as keen on the computer as the next nerd, but if he changed the nomenclature a bit, he was describing a few of the functions provided efficiently, cheaply and reliably by a good local newspaper.It listens to what people have to say and gives them a platform.But it also does something that the cheerful anarchy of cyberspace cannot: it can deploy reporters and photographers to investigate things affecting the community that people in control, in business, trade unions and government, would prefer concealed.A wisely led local newspaper can lend its authority and promotional powers to campaign for action from the inert and honesty from the dissemblers. Its credibility is enhanced by the fact that it lives in the real world and must be prepared to defend itself against terrestrial prosecution.As I write, the Press Gazette arrives with the news that my old paper, The Northern Echo, has won a High Court campaign of benefit to the whole community.
