The first six-episode season of We Are Lady Parts debuted on Channel 4 in 2021 – three years after its original pilot – and proved a huge hit with audiences and critics.
It followed student Amina Hussain (Anjana Vasan), who is recruited as lead guitarist for the titular punk band Lady Parts but finds herself caught between two different worlds – her more strait-laced uni friends and the band, who urge her to find her voice.
The show was nominated for a number of awards including the BAFTAs for Best Scripted Comedy and Best Female Comedy Performance for Vasan, and won the award for Best Comedy Series at the 2021 Edinburgh International Television Festival.
We Are Lady Parts season 1 is currently available on All4 and Polite Society is in UK cinemas from Friday 28th April. Check out more of our Comedy coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to see what's on tonight.
