BBC1’s six-part drama Riot Women is sure to have us all glued to our screens – not least because it’s written by Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright.
Actors Joanna Scanlan, Rosalie Craig, Tamsin Greig, Lorraine Ashbourne and Amelia Bullmore play five older women who form a punk band in a moving story of the power of female friendship, resilience and midlife. The show is a work of fiction, rather than based on a particular true story or one particular band.
