Drag Race UK’s Blu Hydrangea challenges two aspiring stitchers to create outfits on a budget as tight as the timescale. They have 12 hours to complete their creations, inspired by legendary looks from fashion, film, TV and cosplay, before modelling them on a runway.
Written by and starring Steve Coogan and Sarah Solemani, Chivalry will explore the hot topic of gender politics in the #MeToo era in the film and television industries.
Wanda Sykes (Blackish) stars as astute studio executive Jean Shrill, who arranges for indie filmmaker Bobby Sohrabi (Solemani) to take over as director of “A Little Death”, a problematic movie produced by Cameron O’Neill (Coogan).
Cameron is striving to keep his name in lights but the threat of cancel culture looms large.
Aggi O’Casey has been cast for the lead role of Vivien Epstein, a young Jewish woman who, after falling in love with a member of the 62 Group, abandons the comfort of her middle-class life in Manchester to join the struggle against fascism in London.
The 62 Group were a real coalition of Jewish men who took a stand against the rising neo-Nazism in post-war Britain.
Eddie Marsan will play the part of Soly Malinovsky, the leader of the anti-fascist organisation.
The series – written by Solemani – takes an uncompromising look at romance in a post #MeToo era and gives a comedic insight into the battleground of sexual politics.
Bobby (Sarah Solemani) and Cameron (Steve Coogan) are a completely mismatched pair, forced together by a cynical studio executive in order to save a failing movie.
Bobby is a woke writer and director who is currently an industry favourite, following her successful low-budget indie debut.
The programmes include a new crime thriller by Steven Moffat, a political drama starring Hugh Laurie, an adaption of Jo Bloom’s Ridley Road and a drama focusing on the controversial abortion laws in Northern Ireland.
