Overview
- Ann Droid is a six‑episode BBC comedy‑drama co‑created by Diane Morgan and Sarah Kendall and stars Diane Morgan as the robot Linda and Sue Johnston as Sue.
- All six episodes are available to stream on BBC iPlayer and the series has risen into iPlayer’s top 10, reaching the number two spot in viewer rankings.
- Viewers and social posts, helped by a short clip on the BBC’s TikTok account, have praised the show for its mix of comedy and poignancy and are publicly urging the BBC for a second series.
- The BBC has not announced a renewal or any international licensing deals despite requests from overseas viewers in countries such as Germany and Australia.
- The series engages with topical questions about the use of robotic carers to support an ageing population and could prompt broader discussion about care, technology and pressure on health services if demand continues.
