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 Selinaβs old movies β The Vixen, The Vixen 2 and The Vixen 3D. Meanwhile Selina takes Florenceβs 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 sheβd love to make a sex tape.
βThe leadsβ natural chemistry, plus David Quantickβs witty scriptβ¦ make for an enjoyable comedy with series potentialβ The Observer
βItβs as slick, dark and funny as one would expect β but surely this cannot be a one-off? The ending alone leaves us begging for a seriesβ Radio Times
βFrench and Saunders sparkle with a magic that is so rarely heard in new radio comedies that Iβd almost forgotten it was possibleβ Daily Telegraph
