BRAND NEW COMEDY

BBC Two's newest comedy, WeMight Regret This, centres around a a new relationship, an impending blended family and an intense female friendship, inspired by the lives and experiences of its creators Kyla Harris and Lee Getty.

It follows Freya, played by Kyla Harris, a 30-something Canadian artist and tetraplegic who moves to London to be with Abe, played by Darren Boyd, a 50-something straight-laced lawyer who thinks he’s the old dog that can learn new tricks.

Freya and Abe's relationship is a high-speed romance which sees Abe inviting Freya to move into his house before she's even seen upstairs. Because of Freya’s disability, living together also includes personal assistants (PAs), who are always there - a third person in earshot for every romantic moment and domestic screaming match.

After failing to find the right person for this more than intimate role, Freya invites chaotic and impulsive best friend Jo, played by Elena Saurel, to take the job. What could go wrong?
