âThis is the most humiliating thing Iâve done in my life,â says Humyara Mahbub, one of the showâs three creators. âThis is my first TV writing role. My first big professional creative thing. As someone whoâs been railing against creatives for the past 10 years, itâs deeply embarrassing to publicly be âa writerâ.â Mahbub, a lawyer and freelance illustrator, is in this situation because of her friend, comedian Naomi Higgins (who also stars in the show): it was Higginsâ idea to create a series about their friendship. They then worked together, alongside Aunty Donnaâs Mark Bonanno, to create a pilot for ABCâs comedy Fresh Blood 2018 initiative and âit just sort of went from thereâ. ....
Chewing Gum, which was originally a one-woman stage show, follows 24-year-old Tracey Gordon, a Beyoncé-obsessed virgin living in a London council estate with her devout Christian family. When we first meet her she’s trying to convince her strictly religious (and closeted) boyfriend of six years, Ronald (John Macmillan), to finally have sex with her. By the end of that first episode she’s got her eye on someone new: Connor (Robert Lonsdale), an unemployed poet. Repressed and horny, Tracey squirts blood out of her nostrils when she’s aroused. Once she’s got Ronald out of the way, there’s plenty of blood-squirting to come as she embarks on a quest to lose her virginity and find her place in the world. ....

In 2020, the 38-year-old from west London co-starred in ITV’s drama Quiz – the story of the “coughing” scandal on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire – and was the survivalist mother of Kim (Maisie Williams) in ....
The Serpent (BBC One) | iPlayer Black Narcissus (BBC One) | iPlayer Death to 2020 (Netflix) Doctor Who (BBC One) | iPlayer Spiral (BBC Four) | iPlayer Kathmandu, Goa, Bangkok – especially the last – all serve as such perfect backdrops to The Serpent, the BBC’s first big drama of the new year, and a slow-burn triumph. Look beyond and under the prayer wheels, the soporific beaming mysticism, the garlands and the braids, and you see fat rats and crumbling masonry, gnarled disappointment, disease. It’s a pathetic fallacy for the hippie dream of the 1970s and has seldom been achieved better. It has been achieved by a skilful retelling of the crimes of Charles Sobhraj, the Viet-Indian Frenchman who murdered at least 12 tourists in that decade. By so many accounts, Sobhraj, in every one of his various stolen identities and forged visas, was seriously charming, winningly amoral.
