Beehive(2008)

Beehive is an all-female sketch comedy series written by and starring Alice Lowe, Sarah Kendall, Barunka O'Shaughnessy, and Clare Thomson. The four performers create a surreal, absurdist world populated by eccentric characters: robots, magic bins, and a woman dating a duck. Recurring sketches feature Jadine and Marla, rude South African airline hostesses, and a twisted take on Sex and the City's iconic group, reimagined as obnoxious troublemakers wreaking havoc in a high street bar. Beehive blends sharp writing with physical comedy and deadpan delivery, building a distinctive comedic universe through character-driven scenarios that range from the mundane to the utterly ridiculous. The series showcases emerging British comedy talent at its most inventive and unfiltered.
