  DOPE GIRLS TV SERIES  

BBC UNVEILS TRAILER AND AIR DATE

Well, I cannot say I find this one at least remotely interesting, but BBC has announced February 22nd air date for their new period set drama DOPE GIRLS which looks rather depressive. New six episode series will bring 1918 Soho to life according to BBC, although they don't really look lively to me in the images nor the trailer.

 

IT IS THE END OF WORLD WAR ONE
As Britain celebrates the Armistice on the streets of London, men return from the front expecting to rejoin society and pick up where they left off - but a newly empowered generation of women are loath to simply return to the kitchen. Using Soho’s expanding illicit underground clubland scene as their playground, women explore previously unimaginable opportunities on either side of the law. DOPE GIRLS depicts in visceral detail the birth of the modern nightlife industry guided and gilded by female endeavour. 

 

WHO IS IN THE GANG?

Julianne Nicholson leads as Kate Galloway, a single mother who establishes a nightclub amidst the hedonistic uproar of post-World War One London, embracing a life of criminal activities with the dedicated aim of providing for her daughter Evie (Eilidh Fisher). Eliza Scanlen plays Violet Davies, one of the first wave of female officers, who is assigned to go undercover and investigate the illicit world of underground Soho nightclubs. This is where we find Billie Cassidy (Umi Myers), a bohemian dancer, whose life is irrevocably changed by Kate’s arrival. Also starring are Michael Duke, Ian Bonar, Dustin Demri-Burns, Geraldine James, Nabhaan Rizwan, Priya Kansara, Jordan Kouamé, Will Keen and Sebastian Croft and our dear Rory Fleck Byrne as the brother in the family.
