Getting a bit off topic, I know, but a great example of a female centred television show was the classic 1980s BBC drama, Tenko. It was set in a Japanese PoW camp for women in World War Two (following the fall of Singapore). Although there were male characters, primarily the Japanese prison guards, the storylines was centred on the female prisoners. I was in my early teens when the three series were first shown (1981-1984), and I was hooked.
