Britney

Written by and starring Charly Clive and Ellen Robertson, Britney is based on the best friends’ sell-out live show of the same name, which, in-turn, was based on the pair’s real-life experience dealing with Charly’s brain tumour diagnosis.

The official synopsis reads: “[Britney] is the true story of an extraordinary friendship amidst the reality of living with a brain tumour diagnosis (the tumour is fondly named Britney after the one and only icon).”

Ladybaby

Set in Edinburgh, Ladybaby is both created and written by Kirstie Swain, known for her work on Channel 4’s comedy-drama Pure, about a young woman living with OCD.

According to the official synopsis, Ladybaby is about “a thirtysomething woman unexpectedly reunited with the daughter she gave up for adoption when she was fifteen”.
