BBC Three is creating a six-part part series featuring 12 comedians and centring on period jokes. Period Dramas will feature Sarah Keyworth, Rosie Jones, Maisie Adam, Evelyn Mok, Kemah Bob, Sophie Duker, Maria Shehata, Zahra Barri, Helen Bauer, Sadia Azmat, Lily Phillips and Sikisa AKA Twix all talking about menstruation.
The series will air this March and will be available on iPlayer, YouTube and other social media platforms. Studio71’s UK Creative Director Jody Smith said: “We’re thrilled to be making three distinctive series for the BBC, all united in how they talk to a young audience. We’ve leaned on our experience of working with new and digital talent to produce series that aim to resolve challenges through storytelling and discussion, that begins in the shows and will continue in people’s lives.”
Daisy Griffith, Digital Commissioner of BBC Factual, said: “It’s been great working with Studio 71 and making the most of their expertise in creating content for younger audiences — they really understand the topics and talent that appeal to this demographic, as well as the pace and style of the content.”
