The best friends go through bad dates, public humiliation, and heartbreak together as their friendship faces new challenges.

Dolly Alderton took to Instagram to speak about the TV adaptation: 'The story is a romantic comedy about two best friends, written by me and directed by the phenomenally clever @chinamooyoung. I’ve been working with Working Title on the project for nearly four years and I am so grateful that this story has grown and developed in such safe hands. BBC drama has made extraordinary TV over the last year and it is an honour to be on their slate of upcoming shows. And before every boy I dated a decade ago messages me today to breezily ask how I am, it’s semi-fictionalised, so don’t panic fellas.'
