THE TROUBLE WITH MAGGIE COLE

BBC First 116, 8.30pm

This new comedy drama starring Dawn French delves into what happens when idle gossip escalates out of control and starts to affect people’s lives. When a radio journalist interviews Maggie Cole (French) for a small piece about life in a picturesque village, she gives him far more detail – and embellishment – about the locals and their lives than he was counting on. You see, Maggie makes it her business to know a little bit about everyone’s business, and in the days and weeks following the show’s broadcast, her chit-chat is going to get her into serious trouble. Tune in tonight for a rollicking good time.
