[2] Set in the Yorkshire town of Garforth, Ladhood begins with Liam Williams encountering relationship and behavioural issues as he questions what has shaped his personality.

[4] Of the commission, Chris Sussman, Head of Comedy at BBC Studios, stated: "We're thrilled to take Liam's brilliant series on a journey from radio to TV.

[10] After the first series premiered on iPlayer, Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian published a review stating that Williams "captures the excruciating awkwardness of teenage life to a terrifying degree of accuracy", and that "it is full of moments that had [her] snorting with laughter".

[12] Hydall Codeen of Vice stated that Ladhood is "a topography of raw adolescent experience that will not just resonate with anyone who grew up in a small British town, but shed light on why they feel the way they do today".

Liam's deft writing manages to both excoriate and celebrate the trials and tribulations of those formative late teen years as he traces back the roots of the person he then became in adulthood.
