What are other posters' thoughts about BMG developing into a second series? Where would it go?
If this gets a second series, I shall lose all faith in the BBC.
I mean, it's bloody awful in every way apart from its intention to shed a little sympathetic light upon the transgenger community.
And the very worst crime committed by the writers is this:
From the start, the message appeared to be "Judy is a girl who was born with a few extra bits that have now been removed. She is most certainly not a docker in a frock."
And, true to that promise, Judy conducted herself from the start in an entirely feminine fashion: her voice, her facial expressions and her mannerisms were everything we might expect them to be if she were indeed a bona fide girl.
All was going well until the scene in the bowling alley with the two bullying bigots.
They gave Judy a real slagging off for being transgender and what did she do?
Did she burst into tears as a real girly girl might do?
Did she destroy them with an incisive stream of verbal wizardry as a mature, brave, articulate woman might do?
No, she laid one of them out cold with a single punch - exactly as a docker in a frock might do.
It was at that point that the writers went in my estimation from 'naive' to 'absolutely f***ing clueless'.
Please let us have no more of this series.
