Play Something

Nida Manzoor is best known for directing two episodes of Doctor Who. One of which introduced the 'Fugitive' Doctor.

We Are Lady Parts could be her breakthrough. Manzoor has written and directed this grungy comedy.

Amina is a Phd student who teaches music at a local school. Her friends are married or engaged.

Amina is looking for a husband but in the first episode she finds Lady Parts. A Muslim girl rock group who is looking for a guitarist. Only Amina is nervous of playing in public.

There is an element of inspiration from the US sitcom Ramy.

The first episode was amusing rather than laugh out loud. The female band members are interesting but their characters will presumably be explored in future episodes.

It might have helped if the old Asian sitcom cliche of marriages was avoided at least for now.
