Do not miss Janice Okoh’s Just Act Normal on BBC Three. Its six episodes are adapted from Okoh’s Bruntwood award-winning 2013 stage play Three Birds, originally starring Michaela Coel. I was steeled for bleakness because of the usual trajectory of stories such as this: three home-alone minors in a Birmingham tower block flat whose drug-addicted mother is no longer around scrabble to evade being sucked into the care system.
