BRITNEY by Charly Clive & Ellen Robertson

BBC One / BBC iPlayer, Pilot 30 Nov 2021

Charly and Ellen have been best friends ever since a shared moment of transformational theatre in Year 8 Drama Club. 10 years on, and (apparently) reunited in their home village of Cumwell, their world is suddenly tipped upside down as they fight to make sure their friendship rom-com has a happy ending.

Based on the sell-out live show of the same name, Britney was created Charly Clive and Ellen Robertson, inspired by their real-life experience of growing up as best friends, then finding out that Charly had a brain tumour. Co-starring Omid Djalili, Tony Gardner and Lia Williams.
