Overview
- Ann Droid was released as a full box set on BBC iPlayer on Friday, July 17, and the first episode also aired on BBC One that evening.
- The story follows a widowed woman named Sue who is given a reconditioned AnnDroid care robot called Linda and the unlikely friendship that develops between them.
- Diane Morgan co-wrote the series with Sarah Kendall and stars as Linda, with Sue Johnston as Sue and Paul Ready as her son Michael.
- Early reviews praise Morgan’s deadpan performance and the show’s emotional warmth while several critics say the satire of AI could have been sharper.
- The series is currently exclusive to BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK, so international viewers have no official streaming option at launch.
