‘British L Word’ to be made for BBC
August 31st, 2009
A new TV series focusing on a group of lesbian and bisexual women in Glasgow is to be broadcast on BBC3.
The six-part drama, called Lip Service, will centre around the sex lives and love affairs of a group of twentysomething women.
Writer Harriet Braun says Lip Service will be a “sexy, funny and irreverent drama that reflects what it is to be a young gay woman living in Britain today”.
Braun, who has previously worked on Mistresses and Attachments, says the series will be partly based on her own experiences.
Anticipating the predictable comparison to The L Word, Braun said “I loved The L Word but it’s high time we saw some contemporary British lesbians, with all the bad weather, trips to the pub and repressed emotions that go with that.”
“It will be as funny as it is pathos-filled, because in my experience that’s how life is.”
Filming for Lip Service will begin later this year. A cast for the drama has not yet been confirmed.
