Airdate: The Trouble with Maggie Cole

UK comedy drama The Trouble with Maggie Cole, starring Dawn French, will screen on BBC First next month.

The series follows a village busybody and gift shop owner who refers to herself as a “local historian” who spills too much on her community in a radio interview.

The 6 part series screened in the UK in March.

The Trouble with Maggie Cole is a comedy drama series centering on Maggie Cole, the self-appointed oracle of a close-knit community. When a radio journalist interviews Maggie about local life, she gives him far more detail and embellishment about the locals and their personal lives than he was counting on. Following the broadcast, Maggie gets into trouble as the fallout disrupts the lives of some of her fellow residents. Maggie also has to face some dark secrets that her own family has been harbouring.

Saturdays at 8.30pm from June 13 on BBC First.
