In the Club

Created and written by Kay Mellor, this warm, funny and dramatic series tells the stories of six pregnant women and their partners, all brought together by the life-changing experience of imminent parenthood. With Mellor's acclaimed trademark mix of drama and comedy, this ensemble series interweaves the relationships of these expectant parents with the twists and turns of their individual stories. Meeting at a weekly parentcraft class, these diverse characters range from a 40-something businesswoman going through a messy divorce after falling for a penniless young artist, to a housewife who finds out she's expecting miracle twins just as her husband takes drastic action to deal with mounting debts; from a scared 15 year old schoolgirl desperately trying to conceal her pregnancy, to a newlywed young woman worried that a stupid mistake could ruin her marriage and a teaching assistant fighting her growing feelings for the biological father of the child she’s expecting with her female partner. As the babies begin to arrive, only one thing’s for sure – nothing will ever be the same again! (source: BBC Worldwide press release)
