With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s brand new romcom Starstruck on BBC Three at the end of April, this coming year marks a watershed moment in broadcasting history with most BBC Three comedy either starring, written by or created by women. BBC Three will be the first UK channel to achieve this landmark in female representation with 58% of long-form scripted comedy written by women.
Upcoming titles include Lazy Susan, Starstruck and Ellie and Natasia plus the second series of both In My Skin and Back to Life.
In addition to this, the BBC today announces four new BBC Comedy Slices for BBC Three, all of which are written by and/or star female talent: Ladybaby, Amicable, Dinosaur and Britney, which results in the majority of comedy programmes on BBC Three now being female led.
Kate Daughton, outgoing Head of Comedy at the BBC, says: “Building on the huge success of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Daisy May Cooper, this marks a monumental achievement and is testament to the fact the most pioneering and exciting new voices in comedy are increasingly female.”
Kate leaves the Comedy Commissioning team today having made a tremendous impact overseeing a raft of female first titles. Since Kate’s arrival in 2017 she has commissioned and nurtured Fleabag, Mum, Ghosts, Gavin & Stacey: Christmas Special (2019), This Time With Alan Partridge, Back to Life, The Goes Wrong Show, Out of Her Mind, Two Doors Down, In My Skin and Man Like Mobeen. Alongside the forthcoming Witchfinder, Alma’s Not Normal and Stephen Merchant series The Offenders (w/t).
Shane Allen, Director of BBC Comedy, says: “Five years ago there were still articles asking where all the funny women were. That hoary old nonsense can finally be dispensed with once and for all. It’s a level playing field with the most vibrant and dynamic work coming through from females writers and writer performers who are elevating the art form of comedy and expanding its horizons. As for Kate Daughton, no longer will she curse at me for loud sneezing in the office. Partly because she’s leaving and mostly because we’ve not been in the office. Truly bereft; in denial that she’s off and we’re lucky to have had her for so long.”
Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, says: “Kate’s impeccable taste, whip smart comedy brain and beguiling ways with talent have had a transformative impact on the comedy output in her time here. The fact that BBC Three can claim to be the first UK channel with a majority of female led and written scripted comedy is in large part down to her vision and passion for backing genre defining female creatives. She’ll be sorely missed but thankfully leaves behind a terrific legacy of shows ahead.”
gay的确很喜欢苏菲，哈哈 ≧▽≦
戏是很难看没有错啦，就是那种你看完预告片基本等于看完全片，而且身为gay片然鹅两个人的gay达完全不搭你能信？但是urie是我第二喜欢的同志演员（第一是小狼），40岁跳小甜甜也毫不违和永远都是甜美的gossip girl！
这么多年了。美国还是喜欢拍这种屎尿屁同志电影
唉真的是…看在今天圣诞节的份上王某人放你们一马不吐槽了…有的节日让人对所有不尽人意的人事物都能网开一面，电影其实真的有点差劲，普普通通，氛围开心，苏菲是惊喜，一如既往看见她就想乐呵。
合家欢电影，难免有一些浮在空中美丽泡沫的感觉，再通俗些就是角度片面，演员不错！部分时候有一点啰嗦！
我太爱这种合家欢了。不管是国内国外，同性恋异性恋，过年一样要被家里催婚，太real了。james有点过于性感，只怪你来晚了9年。
不点失望。刻意，尴尬，cringy, cheesy and corny。真的看预告就可以猜结局，也不甜呀，也不节目，也不温情。netflix给你钱，你就不要浪费呀。
这种片子当然就是看个甜啦 就很好嘛 温馨爱意圆满 还要什么呢
太口水电影了，起码的感动观众都做不到，唯一亮点苏菲都没那么招人喜欢…
虽然网飞浪费的不是我的钱 但还是有点点痛心
太尴尬了，而且为什么总是minority tracing a white male ewww
不正式现实太残酷，所以才需要这样欢快放松的电影嘛！！！
合家欢的圣诞gay电影，能拍出来就已经心满意足了，要啥自行车啊
用情景喜剧的方法演喜剧爱情电影总有种用力过度的感觉。 but圣诞气氛是挺浓厚的 也没什么狗血 节日看看还行
这部装模作样的圣诞电影让我非常不舒服。所有人的演技全部下线。剧情非常无脑。也非常不真诚，感觉是一个直女想象出来的男男cp故事。txl才不会因为怕失去朋友不谈恋爱呢。
剧情挺老套的，都能猜出来了，可怜的工具人用来催化两人感情，看热闹不嫌事大的家人们在背后助攻，两人误会后分开又醒悟，另外基佬们说话挺有腔调的，不算娘娘也不算普通，就是很柔声柔气比女生还要别致一番风味，一听就感觉十有八九了，我都不知道自己在说什么了，与电影内容无关的影评哈哈
加入圣诞Playlist，好笑好暖。能量过剩的一家子，有时候就是得看看能量旺盛人的生活。
太cliche了，中间一顿快进，还好最后接吻了，不然我要掀桌了！
看了十分钟就确定这是部烂片……亏我白白期待了那么久！
我真的没有看到一丁点chemistry，感觉就是一对好朋友被家人gaslight到互相示爱的故事
