'If the menopause happened to blokes, we’d be getting HRT from Tesco' - Sally Wainwright's inspiration for Riot Women is so relatable

Yvonne Vaux (AMELIA BULLMORE), Jess Burchill (LORRAINE ASHBOURNE), Kitty Eckerson (ROSALIE CRAIG), Beth Thornton (JOANNA SCANLAN), Holly Gaskell (TAMSIN GREIG) in Riot Women.

If you're a midlife woman who recognises the monumental struggle of being sandwiched between the needs of your children and your ageing parents, all while being banjaxed by the menopause, then BBC One's Riot Women is for you.

Even if you don't identify with being a midlife, menopausal woman, Riot Women is still for you - so few of this demographic are represented on our TV screens, the show will offer an interesting insight into an invisible group who need to work extra hard to be whoever they want to be.
