UK: BBC green-lights new lesbian drama

Tue 1 Sep 2009 In: International News View at Wayback

The BBC has announced it has commissioned a new TV series about the sex lives of 20-something lesbians living in Glasgow. Called Lip Service, the show aims to be a "sexy, funny and irreverent drama that reflects what it is to be a young gay woman living in Britain today," says writer Harriet Braun, according to The Guardian. "I loved The L Word but it's high time we saw some contemporary British lesbians, with all the bad weather, trips to the pub and repressed emotions that go with that," she said. "It will be as funny as it is pathos-filled, because in my experience that's how life is." The show will be made up of six hour-long episodes to be filmed later this year. The cast is yet to be revealed.
