i was reading the raido times article that caused all this debate on sexism in pannell games and i have to say the quote given by victoria wood was'nt really as negative as the comments in other newspapers might lead you to belive .

most of the article was victoria wood saying how much she enjoyed doing clue but this is the what the papers picked up on , and i quote
" the relative paucity of women on isihac(sandi toksvig and the late linda smith are exception to the predominatly male line up ) is , wood feels , part of the nature of the beast. a lot of pannel games are male dominated because they rely on men topping each other, which is not generally a female thing "

actually just for the record there is actually 2 more exceptions . in earlier seasons there were denise coffee and jo kendall.

that to me anyway the above does'nt come across as a huge broadside on sexism in panell games .

cheers
Linda
