Can we just take a moment to appreciate the level of detail that is present in set and props for this sub 3 minute scene! All of the cabinetry and the bottles of potions and lotions were all well placed to ensure that we believed that they were in a small Chemist shop. Not that I have ever walked into such a tiny Chemist shop here in Australia, ours are bigger and even bigger than they were at the time that this was filmed in the late 70s and early 80s. Now Chemist shops are all part of big chains, open 7 days a week, 9 to 9 for the most part with a small handful open until 11 or 12, but they are well spread out around the suburbs. The days of the family owned Chemist shop are now gone, some are partnerships but the majority are Corporations, with everyone in the store an employee, yes even the Chemist. At least one chain of Chemist shops has a dispensing machine for the packets of medicines and it works something like how the modern Coke machines work with a servo motor controlled scoop to go and collect the packets from the appropriate pigeon hole. Expensive machine just to replace the need for the Chemist or assistants to know exactly where each type and size of medicine are kept. Mark from Melbourne Australia Progress, mmmm maybe

What's not 'sexy' about a woman "with glasses and a bun"?! True 'sexy' comes more from personality and manner than from (superficial) appearance. Many men - me included - think glasses can enhance the 'sexyness' / 'atractiveness' of a female. And tying the hair up in a 'bun' enhances and highlights the neck.

So, actually "the whole point is" it's YOU who said "Joanna Lumley always be (sic) the consummate sexy lady" EVEN WITH "glasses and a bun", thereby implying that, in YOUR opinion, 'ladies' who wear glasses and (or?) a bun are NOT 'sexy' and publicly promoting that unsustainable negative stereotype. So, I repeat - what is NOT 'sexy' about a 'lady' who wears 'glasses and a bun'?! You seem to promote that 'ladies' who wear 'glasses and (or?) a bun' are, without doubt, "prim and drab".
