'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'
By: John Howard

Lip Service begins filming later this year

BBC3's new lesbian drama series - Lip Service

BBC3 has commissioned a new six-part drama series, Lip Service, about the "sex lives and love affairs" of a group of young Glaswegian lesbians. 

Writer Harriet Braun, who also worked on the first series of Mistresses and co-created Attachments, said:

"Based on my own experiences and those of my friends, I wanted to write a sexy, funny and irreverent drama that reflects what it is to be a young gay woman living in Britain today.

"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."
 
Made by the producer of Spooks, Kudos Film and Television, for BBC Scotland, Lip Service has yet to be cast, but the six one-hour episodes will go into production in Glasgow later this year.

BBC3 controller Danny Cohen said: "Harriet Braun's Lip Service offers a fresh new twist on relationships through its exploration of what it means to be a young gay woman in Britain today."
