It won't be long now until Motherland and Philomena Cunk star Diane Morgan returns to our screens with a brand-new BBC sitcom, Ann Droid, and in advance of the series debuting, Radio Times has got an exclusive first look at the show's key art.
The image, which you can see below, shows Morgan in character as Linda, an AI AnnDroid Z58/100 Basic Eldercare Robot, who is purchased for a widower, Sue, by her son Michael.
Sue is played by Brookside and The Royle Family's Sue Johnston, and is also seen in the image, being carried by Linda and not exactly looking delighted with the situation.
The series also stars Paul Ready, Morgan's former Motherland co-star, as Michael.
The synopsis for Ann Droid says: "Sue’s (Sue Johnston) husband David passed away 18 months ago and her only son, Michael (Paul Ready), is moving out – again - to try and fix his marriage - again.
"But the good news is he’s got Sue a surprise to help her live independently, a care provider with a difference - a second hand AnnDroid Z58/100 Basic Eldercare Robot (Diane Morgan). Created to keep the ageing population company and monitor their health, taking the pressure off the ever-stretched NHS.
"It’s Sue’s worst nightmare. An overly attentive, socially inept pain in the arse. But she soon works out she can use the droid to her benefit in settling scores and doing the things her son never gets round to. What develops is a buddy comedy between an older woman and her robot who isn’t quite as advanced socially as she is technically."
An exact release date for the six-part comedy series, which comes from writers Morgan and Sarah Kendall (Taskmaster) is yet to be confirmed, but we do know it will arrive in the summer.
