We Are Lady Parts, Channel 4 review

Nida Manzoor's smart sitcom breaks new ground.

We Are Lady Parts is the punchy punk comedy you need

Channel 4's new 'musical comedy' is worlds away from true crime, combining a sharp script, original songs and a female-fronted cast to create something entirely fresh and funny.

Writer Nida Manzoor brings this deftly observed comedy about Muslim female punk band Lady Parts and their mission to find fame - or at least get their first gig. Anjana Vasan stars as well-behaved PhD student and sometime guitar teacher Amina, who is persuaded by the band's anarchic frontwoman Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey), to be their new guitarist - promising her introductions to men if she agrees. A glorious culture clash ensues, playing like Goodness Gracious Me's "ras malai" raps for the 21st century.
