Congratulations to ERA5050 warrior and all round superstar Louisa for reaching the second round of this comedy script competition! 🥂 #funnywomen

Congrats to #TellHerVision alumnus Georgia Mackenzie for reaching the second round of @femalepilotclub Official UKTV with her peri menopausal comedy Rather Not Say. Clearly a month spent in our all female writers room was a fertile time…even if less than half of us had working ovaries 😅

So excited to be in the second round of @femalepilotclub and Official UKTV - 'TV Comedy Pilots by Women, For Women'. Thank you! Congratulations to everyone on the list.

It's brilliant to see a show connect with young women.
