Synopsis

Some Girls (TV series) Why you need to watch BBC Three39s Some Girls Screen Robot

Some Girls focuses on four 16-year-old schoolgirls – their lives, loves, and mundane teenager preoccupations, including: school, boyfriends, careers and sex. They live within the same housing estate in South London, and attend the same local school, where they all play for the demoralised football team.

The chief protagonist, Viva Bennett (Adedayo), aims to "stay motivated" with her A levels, in an ambition to become a celebrity child psychologist, on Living TV – meanwhile, she psycho-analyses her friends. Viva lives with firefighter-dad Rob (Salmon), her sex-obsessed younger brother, Jamie (Nathan Bryon), and her stepmother – Anna Hitchcock (Wells), a New Zealander who also happens to be an unsympathetic PE teacher and football coach, at the girls' school – "Bitchcock".

Viva and her close friends' conversation spans history homework to their life goals, and they comprise:


  • Holli Vavasour (Jonas), who is prone to violent but entertaining outbursts, and looks after her younger siblings, with Viva as a mother-figure (since her own is absent).
  • Saz Kaur (Dhillon), an up-tight maths geek from a traditional British Punjabi/Sikh family, with a cynical but funny view of life.
  • Amber Dean (Felgate), a well-meaning but gullible and dim blonde, who is obsessed with boyfriends.

    • Commentary and reaction

    Some Girls has been described as: "...a comedy about the kind of girls more usually seen in worrying documentaries about inner city teens." Bernadette Davis has said: "As far as I know, there aren't any other comedies about girls of this age. Inbetweeners has shown what a rich area for comedy this age group is - but girls are very different and I thought they should have their own show."

    The Daily Mirror made the first episode of Some Girls "Tuesday's must-see TV" and described the show as "Energetic, irreverent and real". The Stage online said: "the relationship between the quartet of friends is well observed and firmly rooted in recognisable, realistic emotions". Comedian Jimmy Mulville, Managing Director of Hat Trick Productions, says: "This second series of Some Girls confirms Bernadette Davis as one of the funniest writers working today. We're lucky to have her."
