The cast is led by its central trio, Taj Atwal (playing Rana), Leah Brotherhead (Toni) and Sinead Matthews (Paula), with Line of Duty's Craig Parkinson also cameoing.

"The series explores the hilarious and agonising reality of what it is to be a working-class woman juggling work, kids, demanding friends, family and frustrating parents from the school playground - all whilst trying to have some fun too," Channel 4 teases.

In the Hullraisers trailer, which was previously shared exclusively by RadioTimes.com, we get a sneak-peek of Parkinson’s cameo and other cast members such as Coronation Street’s Shobna Gulati and Line of Duty’s Perry Fitzpatrick.
