Such Brave Girls

Such Brave Girls is a British sitcom about a dysfunctional single-parent family created by Kat Sadler for BBC Three.

Sadler told The Times that Davidson read the drafts and acted as her “sense check … telling me if I’ve gone too mad”.

She described their characters of Josie and Billie as “not us, but they are certainly inspired by bits of us … we have taken some of the worst aspects of ourselves”.

She added that it was “brave – singular, fresh, scabrous and unflinching – but still – or, rather, as a result – hilarious.”[11] Steve Bennett for Chortle gave the show four stars commenting that “elements of pure sitcom” combine with an “earthy, nuanced realism of the dysfunctional characters” with Sadler’s “unique comic sensibilities” combining with an “admirable reluctance to take serious issues seriously” which “makes for an impressively different series.”[12] In February 2024, it was nominated in the Best TV Show category at the Chortle Awards.
