Production

A six-part series of 30 minute episodes was commissioned in July 2022 for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. Executive producers on the series include Phil Clarke, Helen Williams and Roberto Troni.[3] Written by Caroline Moran, the series has Holly Walsh & Jack Clough as a director.[4] The series is produced by Phil Clarke and Jesse Armstrong’s production company, Various Artists Limited.[5]

Casting

The main cast features Elizabeth Berrington, Lucie Shorthouse, Callie Cooke, Lauren O'Rourke, and Kate O'Flynn.[6] Screenwriter Moran personally wrote Danny Dyer an email to request his cameo appearance.[7]

Filming

Filming locations included Pensby Boys School on the Wirral.[8] Filming also took place in North Wales, in early 2023.[9] Locations in Wales include Abergele, with Llanfair Talhaiarn and Moel Famau, in the Clwydian Range also used.[10]

Broadcast

The programme premiered on BBC Two and the BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2023.[11]

Reception

David Craig in The Radio Times says "it's totally daft but unashamedly so, and there's a lot of fun to be had for those willing to go along for the ride".[12]

Rebecca Nicholson in The Guardian said it was a "big, robust comedy", which "isn't for the faint-hearted".[13]

It was a The Times Critics' choice saying the show was "coarse, amoral and seriously funny. Bring on series two."[14]

Frances Taylor in The Radio Times calls it "bold, brash and a lot of fun".[15]

The Daily Telegraph called it "gleefully broad and raucously entertaining".[16]

Rachel Cooke in The New Statesman called the comedy on the show “relentlessly laboured” full of “faux-feminist puerility”.[17]
