Emma Fryer (Ideal) stars in a new comedy for BBC Two, which she co-wrote with Neil Edmond (Where Are The Joneses?). It is filmed on location in Coventry.

The six-part series features a nearly all-female ensemble cast, including Hayley Jayne Standing (My Dad’s The Prime Minister), Kerry Godliman (Extras), Rebekah Staton (Pulling), Marian McLoughlin (The Omid Djalili Show), alongside Philip Jackson (Poirot) and James Daffern (Emmerdale, Love Letters).

Emma plays the lead role of Gaynor Jacks, who returns to her home town of Coventry, back to her mum and dad’s house, and where her three best friends, Mel, Becky and Kelly, live.

Aged 17, Gaynor ran off to find her place in the big wide world, but now, aged 29, she’s back with her tail between her legs. Gaynor can’t hide for ever in her bedroom; she must crawl back into her old life and suffer the gleeful sympathy of her friends and ill-judged parental intrusions. And of course this is all played out in front of old flames and adversaries Gaynor never thought she’d see again, and underscored by the smirking cries of: “See you’re back, then.”

As the series begins, Gaynor has come back home and is hiding in her “teenage” bedroom. But her mum, Brenda, makes sure she gets out and faces up to the friends she left behind: manipulative Mel, club-weary Kelly and angry Becky.
