The first episode, the comedy-drama Tits, follows Adelle Leonce (Ordinary Lies, Shameless) after a drunken encounter with a photocopier.

Writer Berri George said: “The crux of it is it’s about a girl who’s trying too hard to fit in. and so she make some wrong decisions about how she’s going to not reveal the hidden truth of her past, and not be herself.”

Following the success of the first series, the second installment, collectively named The Break, showcases the work of five exciting, up-and-coming writers chosen through BBC Writersroom talent searches, development schemes and theatre partnerships. 

BBC Writersroom work with writers at every stage of their career, helping them to develop their craft through professional training, on the Writersoom website and in open sessions around the country with the UK's best writing talent.

They discover, develop and champion new and experienced writing talent across the whole of the UK working in partnership with all BBC Scripted Departments and the Independent Production community.

The Break will give a snapshot of young characters experiencing the ordinary, the extraordinary and everything in between, with issues including of first-time fatherhood, and domestic and racial abuse.

Special Delivery stars Joivan Wade (Doctor Who, EastEnders) as an anxious dad-to-be, while Charlotte Beaumont (Broadchurch, Waterloo Road) deals with domestic abuse and a racially-motivated killing in the dramatic Etching.

“Writersroom has a unique role to play, finding diverse, emerging, talented writers and directors, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to showcase their incredible talent," said Anne Edyvean, Head of BBC Writersroom. "These shorts are relevant to young audiences, and have drama, tension, laughs and surprises! We hope everyone enjoys this series as much as they did the last.”
