What are people saying about Such Brave Girls?

Sadler, who is also the writer and creator of the BBC sitcom, says that it was inspired by a phone call she had with her sister at the start of lockdown.

“Neither of us had been speaking much, and over the phone I had to tell her I’d been sectioned, and then she told me she ended up with £20,000 worth of debt that she’d been keeping a secret,” she explains. “I don’t know how we’d been keeping these big secrets from each other for a really long time. We both just burst out laughing after we’d told each other what had happened, and it made me realise that you do just deal with the most serious things through comedy.

“The world is a scary place and if I can do anything to make things feel more manageable or funny, or take the sting out of bits of life that people might be scared or embarrassed or ashamed to talk about, then I’ve done my job.”

Brealey, meanwhile, describes the series as being “the story of a 21st century family: two sisters who are ‘wet for trauma’ and utterly unequipped for adulthood, and their glorious, useless mother-from-hell who will happily threaten to slit their throats in their beds if they don’t stop being weird in front of her rich new boyfriend. So, something for everyone.”
