Overview

• All six episodes are available on BBC iPlayer from 6am on Sunday, October 12, with episode one airing on BBC One at 9pm.
• Created by Sally Wainwright, the series is set and filmed in Hebden Bridge and wider West Yorkshire locations.
• The story follows a teacher, a police officer, a pub landlady, a midwife and a shoplifting freeloader who form a punk band for a local talent contest.
• The principal cast features Joanna Scanlan, Rosalie Craig, Tamsin Greig, Lorraine Ashbourne and Amelia Bullmore, with Taj Atwal, Chandeep Uppal and Macy Seelochan as backing singers.
• Wainwright insisted the actors play their own instruments, with original songs by Brighton duo ARXX, as the show blends empowerment with darker narrative threads.
