Episode 5 of 6

Katy Brand and Katherine Parkinson write and star in a new comedy, playing a pair of online influencers whose image is not always as harmonious as it seems.

Katy Brand and Katherine Parkinson write and star in a new comedy about the world of influencing, where they play Ruth and Carla – two wannabe stars of the online business world.

They are bound together by a carefully controlled image that can lead to lucrative product placements and well-paid endorsements - but only if the PR is played just right. And that’s a problem because, behind the scenes, things are not always as harmonious as they seem.

Episode 5: Popstars
Ruth and Carla cook up a cunning plan to trick the mystery Daughters of Influencers bloggers by making a pop song on an app, and launching themselves as a new band called Motherz.

Carla – Katy Brand
Ruth – Katherine Parkinson
