Having impressed with the one-off they did for the BBC’s New On Two strand, Graham Linehan and Sharon Horgan have been commissioned to write a full series of their comedy about “the competitive and crazy side of having children”, Motherland.
“I am thrilled and relieved to have finally found a good use for my 13 years of mothering,” Horgan jokes. “Apologies in advance to the brave women and men of the school run.”
