'A family sitcom about trauma' for BBC Three

Filming has begun on Kat Sadler's new BBC Three comedy Such Brave Girls.

The comic stars in the show alongside her real-life sister, Lizzie Davidson as two siblings trying to ‘claw their way towards a better life armed only with an ability to see the line and boldly step over it’.

Sadler says: ‘Ultimately the show is a family sitcom about trauma, but it’s more about us being narcissistic losers who are pathetically obsessed with what people think about us.’

Jon Petrie, director of BBC Comedy added: ‘We are very proud to be supporting Kat Sadler’s bold new comedy. She is a unique, British voice that we can’t wait to introduce BBC viewers to.’

The show – which is being made by Various Artists Ltd and A24  – also stars Louise Brealey as the girls’ mum. No broadcast date has yet been announced.

Executive producer Phil Clarke said: ‘Completely original, dark, and incredibly funny are the words I'd use to describe Kat Sadler's writing. Such Brave Girls is a family sitcom, but unlike any sitcom you've seen before. It's brave, truthful and contemporary. New narrative comedy writing for TV at its absolute best.’
