2. Bringing Up Lucy
Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders star as respected novelist Florence and movie star Selina, in a sparkling comedy series about two sisters at war, by Veep writer David Quantick.
Florence becomes obsessed with her sister Selina’s old movies – The Vixen, The Vixen 2 and The Vixen 3D. Meanwhile Selina takes Florence’s daughter Lucy clothes shopping and Lucy interrogates her about her mysterious absent father, Jonathan. The day ends in chaos as Florence unwittingly tells a journalist that she’d love to make a sex tape.
“The leads’ natural chemistry, plus David Quantick’s witty script… make for an enjoyable comedy with series potential” The Observer
“It’s as slick, dark and funny as one would expect – but surely this cannot be a one-off? The ending alone leaves us begging for a series” Radio Times
“French and Saunders sparkle with a magic that is so rarely heard in new radio comedies that I’d almost forgotten it was possible” Daily Telegraph
