The band is formed when five local women try and win a talent competition in Hebden Bridge. However, writing their first song makes them realise that music could mean a lot more to them than impressing a half-full village hall. Instead, the quintet begins to see just how much they have to say, and how they want to say it.

Eventually, though, a secret threatens to bubble to the surface, and ruin everything.

Beside the Mighty Boosh star and Bake Off presenter, Bonneville (Downton Abbey) will play Turpin’s arch-nemesis, the self-appointed “thief-taker”, otherwise known as Jonathan Wilde.

When Turpin is appointed the unwilling leader of a group of bandits, he is sent on a bizarre journey of strange adventures. Turpin’s highway robbery success is mainly due to his good hair and charisma, but there is only so far this can get him when riding the rollercoaster of a life of crime and being chased by a “thief-taker.”
