Minnie (Emma Thompson) can give a thousand excuses why something can't be done. Genie John Cleese teaches Minnie's manager (Stephen Fry) how to turn a whinger into a winner.
Wendy (Dawn French) needs constant reassurance before making decisions. By consulting and empowering her, Jennifer Saunders boosts Wendy's confidence.
Linda (Cassie Stuart) gets away with murder. By balancing quantity and quality, Dawn French brings her performance up to scratch.
Sam (Michael Percival) knows his job backwards but cannot communicate. Patricia Hodge gives him time to plan and encouragement to express himself.

amenable.
