Wild, Wild Women was a British sitcom that aired on BBC from 1968 to 1969. Made in black-and-white, it starred Barbara Windsor and was written by Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney. This period sitcom, set in 1902, was a variation of The Rag Trade, which was also written by Chesney and Wolfe. Barbara Windsor, who also starred in The Rag Trade, played Millie, a cockney woman who led the women in a milliner's shop. The storylines focused around the conflict between the female workers and the management, Mr Harcourt and his apprentice Albert. Reflecting the spirit of Britain in the 1960s, the women adopted a new fiesty spirit not seen in The Rag Trade. In the pilot the women were shown as strong supporters of the suffragette movemement, but it was decided not to make much of this in the series. The series failed to attract the same popularity as The Rag Trade, and was decommissioned after the first series. Only episode 3 still exists.
