“We sing songs about being middle-aged and menopausal and more or less invisible. And you thought the Clash were angry.” Meet the Riot Women, a group of five West Yorkshire women of a certain age and temperament who form the most unlikely of punk bands for a talent contest and find new purpose by rocking out. From one of British TV’s top creators, Sally Wainwright (Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax), Riot Women will have you rooting for and hooting along with these unfiltered and unleashed heroines, played by Tamsin Grieg (Episodes), Joanna Scanlon (Getting On), Rosalie Craig (the West End Company revival), Lorraine Ashbourne, and Amelia Bullmore. Launching with two episodes.
