Angels or Objects? The 70s Show That Sold Feminism in a Bikini: 'Charlie's Angels'

Greetings from PG Towers! Join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV Producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV,  Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear.  This week, we step back to into the world of high glam, high fashion and crime busting women with an episode of hit US crime drama 'Charlie's Angels' from 1976. What can these plucky females tell us about the representation of women on the television in the mid seventies? Feminist statement or yet more female exploitation? All is discussed. And just what is Dave's beef with Dr Lee concerning Double Deckers?
