Barbara Nice is a loveable, straight talking housewife. She is the comic creation of Janice Connolly - ?Holy Mary' from Channel 4's acclaimed ?Phoenix Nights' TV series. A housewife and avid Take A Break reader, Barbara’s blend of maternal fussing, gentle innuendo and general confusion in the face of modern technology pitches her as the slightly inappropriate but well-meaning old aunt you never knew you had. But if you think an hour of unbridled niceness would pall, then it’s just as well that Mrs Nice has a trick or two up her sleeve. Fed up with a world where people ignore each other in supermarkets and the price of pies is adversely affected by flooding, Mrs Nice devises various ways to raise her audience’s spirits.
