Riot Women: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Sally Wainwright's drama about a menopausal punk rock band
Year: 2025
Joanna Scanlan, Tamsin Greig, Rosalie Craig, Lorraine Ashbourne and Amelia Bullmore star as the menopausal women who decide to form a punk rock band for a local talent contest in this cracking six-part drama, a move that finally allows them to find their voices in life.
That's a big life development in itself but, as you would expect from a drama by Sally Wainwright - of Happy Valley and Last Tango In Halifax fame - there's far more to it than that, because once these women find their voices they find they have plenty to shout about. There's nothing heavy-handed or preachy about Wainwright's writing or the performances, as this is all explored in a drama that is, at its root, really about female friendships.
There will be a second series. (Six episodes)
