Psychobitches is a British sketch comedy programme created by Jeremy Dyson for Sky One Arts. Rebecca Front stars as The Therapist, who holds sessions with famous historical and spiritual women, exploring their psychological issues via anachronistic humour, with such individuals like Mary Magdalene, Bonnie Parker, and Lucille Ball appearing in contemporary settings. Blending historical figures with modern comedy, it features a cast of well-known British talent in a variety of roles as the iconic women.

Liz Taylor devours a chocolate éclair before discussing her two marriages to Richard Burton.
A troubled Nancy Spungen performs a couple of lewd songs, and Eve talks, with great regret, about her sexual relationship with Adam.
Mona Lisa confesses the truth behind her iconic smile.
