This period sitcom, set in 1902, was a variation of "
The Rag Trade ", that was also written byChesney and Wolfe .Barbara Windsor , who also starred in "The Rag Trade", played Millie, acockney 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". The series failed to attract the same popularity as "The Rag Trade", and was decommissioned after the first series.Episodes
