Congratulations to all involved in Amandaland for their Televisual Bulldog Award WIN in the Comedy category! We’re absolutely thrilled. Thank you to everyone who voted for us.
The first series of Amandaland is available to watch now on !
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there’s Amanda’s mother Felicity (Joanna Lumley) who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne (Philippa Dunne ) is sucked back into being Amanda’s minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children’s new school. Thank God for Anne.
Leading the cast are Lucy Punch as Amanda, Joanna Lumley as Felicity and Philippa Dunne as Anne with Samuel Anderson as Mal, Siobhan McSweeney as Della, Rochenda Sandall as Fi, as JJ and as Johannes.
