The BBC has revealed a first look image - above - for new comedy series We Might Regret This.

A trailer, below, has also been released.

Debuting at 10pm on Monday 19th August on BBC Two, and launching as a complete series box set on iPlayer on the same day, the comedy is "the only TV series with a wheelchair user as the lead and co-creator/co-writer", according to the Corporation.

Centring around a new relationship, an impending blended family and an intense female friendship, the series follows Freya a 30-something Canadian artist and tetraplegic. She's moved to London for Abe, a 50-something straight-laced lawyer who thinks he's the old dog that can learn new tricks. Freya and Abe's relationship is a high-speed romance which sees Abe inviting Freya to move into his house before she's even seen upstairs. Because of Freya's disability, living together also includes personal assistants (PAs), who are always there - a third person in earshot for every romantic moment and domestic screaming match. After failing to find the right person for this more than intimate role, Freya invites chaotic and impulsive best friend Jo to take the job. What could go wrong?

The series stars Kyla Harris, Elena Saurel and Darren Boyd in the lead roles, with Sally Phillips and Ed Bluemel amongst the regular line-up.
