My understanding of 70s British TV and sexism:

No women vets on All Creatures Great and Small - no women farmers either. But to be fair it depicted the 1930s

No women in the Goodies or Python (Carol Cleveland not a full member) AND they played the women parts themselves (although it was the best ever)

Felicity Kendal, despite being a studied actress who went on to work with Tom Stoppard, could not have become beloved without being cute as a goddamn button

Mrs Slocumbe not really a sympathetic character. Although to be fair she does run a department
