Through she's crowned Miss Blackpool in 1964, Barbara Parker doesn't want to be a beauty queen. She wants to make people laugh, like her heroine Lucille Ball. After returning the glittering crown, Barbara leaves her family behind in north England and sets off for London, where she works behind a cosmetics counter when she's not running off to casting calls. A chance meeting with an agent results in a new name - Sophie Straw - and an audition for a new BBC comedy series that becomes wildly popular: Overnight, it seems, Sophie goes from provincial ingénue to comedy starlet.

"Funny girl" tells the story of a young woman as she makes the leap from Blackpool beauty queen to darling of television, and the people responsible for her stardom. There are the writers, Tony and Bill, friends since National Service and comedy obsessives, producer Dennis, Cambridge-educated, clever and devoted to both his team and to Sophie ; and Clive, Sophie's good-enough-looking costar, who feels that he's destined for better things, despite the apparently inexhaustible fringe benefits that television stardom offers.

As the 1960s progress, and the British people fall in love with Sophie's sitcom, the pleasures of teamwork begin to wane. Nothing can stay good forever, and the mess of real life will always intrude.
