161 - We Are Lady Parts

Comedy Slab

This week we review - We Are Lady Parts (Series 1 Episode 1)
Sitcom following a Muslim punk band.
We Are Lady Parts is written, created and directed by Nida Manzoor, who has drawn on her own experiences and taken inspiration from the rich and diverse cultural collectives and artists in London; and boasts an exciting ensemble cast of new British acting talent.
We Are Lady Parts shows the highs and lows of the band - called Lady Parts - as seen through the eyes of Amina Hussain - a geeky microbiology PhD student, who's on the lookout for love and romance. Lady Parts' fierce and enigmatic frontwoman Saira sees something in Amina that the others can't see.
When Saira discovers Amina fancies Ahsan, fellow band member and taxi-driving drummer Ayesha's dreamboat brother, she uses this as leverage by offering to hook them both up on a date, but only if Amina agrees to join the band.
Written by Nida Manzoor.
Directed By Nida Manzoor
Produced by John Pocock.
A Working Title / Peacock Production Channel 4.
