THURSDAY
Daddy Issues, BBC & BBC iPlayer
Sex Education’s golden girl, Aimee Lou Wood, is starring in this new BBC drama about the trials and tribulations of parenthood. She plays 24-year-old Gemma who, discovering she’s pregnant after a one-night stand, turns to her recently divorced father for comfort, only to discover he’s as hopeless as she is. After the departure of his wife with all their savings, Malcolm is helpless, unable to load a washing machine or make a microwave dinner without incident. When Gemma’s flatmates move out, she resorts to asking her dad to move in with her. Part drama, part comedy, this new series is a touching story about the intricacies of a father and daughter relationship – and how you can never be prepared for parenthood.
