Smoggie Queens

Ok, so I'm a Smoggie too!! Maybe I'm a bit biased... absolutely love this show!! It's as daft as a brush and unapologetically Boro. In a troubled world this show is like a breath of fresh air! Really silly jokes, larger than life innuendo and really likeable characters. Hope there's a season two!!It's really nice to see the characters of our area celebrated instead of all the negativity which often surrounds a place like Middlesbrough. My favourite episode was the spoof on the Titanic!! Long live Mam , Dickie and their daft friends. I hope they make a return shortly for more over the top adventures!!

Absolutely hilarious, sharp, witty and at times poignant comedy series based in Middlesbrough. Smoggie Queens is well worth watching and as a proud gay Smoggie love that it's putting Middlesbrough and LGBTQ+ community on the map in a positive way. Totally recommend it and hoping there's going to be a 2nd series. And a WOW factor added to it is seeing Michelle Visage having a great part in Smoggie Queens (see if you can spot her). I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole series on BBC iPlayer laughing, being supportive, loving it. It makes a fabulous change of seeing Middlesbrough being portrayed in a more positive way because that's the experience I have always been proud of myself coming from Middlesbrough, even though not perfect but is mainly a great inclusive town (should be a city by now). Smoggie Queens is fantastic.

Laugh-out-loud funny throughout. A contemporary take on life in a post-industrial northern town that will make you laugh 'til you cry, then cry 'til you laugh again. Charming, witty, ridiculous and heartwarming in equal measure. Whether you wear a dress at the weekend or a pair of overalls, there is something here for you. Both celebratory of our proud LGBTQ+ community and of the wider idiosyncrasies of Middlesbrough life; this show is a charming love letter to a much derided part of our country and the resilience, humour and creativity of the people who reside there.

Well written, acted and delivered. Season 2 please!!!

I can't get enough of this at all. I've not laughed out loud this much for ages. Really well written, heartfelt, and real. I love the characters, the token lesbian, the fag hag, the drag mother, the rancid queen and the twink - some may say cliché but every group has these on the scene. Very relatable as a gay man that's grown up.on the NE scene and experienced the odd night in the 'boro. Only wish Enpire had been a gay club back then! Please renew this for another ten series, I can't wait for the next installment. Kudos to Dunning for thr writing and all the cast for the acting, what a rare and precious find.

Smoggie queens is sharply written with a lot of heart. It's good, fun, silly humour and the kind of joyful sitcom we have been missing for sometime now.

The 5 main characters are all delightfully unique and work well as group ensemble and the last episode absolutely made me so emotional after spending time with this chosen family. It's proper old school camp and I love it. Doesn't hide away from the queer themes and celebrates it, while not alienating non-queer audiences and bringing them in for the laughs.

I had a brilliant time with this show and am desperate for more. It was so nice to be able to sit back and just allow myself to laugh and have fun with an episode of television. Highly recommend Smoggie Queens!!!
