Jenny Eclair explores the world of outrageous animated ladies and reveals why certain creations have upset censors and infuriated moralists.
Throughout history animated females have pushed the boundaries and led a very colourful existence.
Popular characters such as Betty Boop, Minnie the Minx and Wonder Woman appearing on film, cartoons and in comic strip form have frequently challenged stereotypes of how 'good girls' should look and behave.
Examining today's female comic-book heroes, the programme illustrates how far we have come from being offended by Betty Boop's garter.
With contributions from comic-strip enthusiasts:
* Paul Gravett
* Mel Gibson
Producer: Stephen Garner
