We Might Regret This preview

While Freya's (Kyla Harris) tetraplegia may also be seen as an obstacle, life couldn't be much sweeter; her career is on the up and up, she's just moved to London, and she has a handsome new man on her arm. But her condition does mean she needs a little extra support – and that's where her haywire best friend Jo (Elena Saurel) comes in.

Jo's ostensible presence as her buddy's personal care assistant puts a strain on Freya's budding romance with Abe (Darren Boyd), who hadn't expected that moving in with his new girlfriend would also bring an extra lodger along for the ride. Might he regret this?

Inspired by actor-writer Harris's own experiences, We Might Regret This is inevitably being billed by some – like so many BBC sitcoms from the last few years – as the new Fleabag. But this is a comedy with inclusivity at its heart that's set to challenge the prejudices we hold around physically disabled people. And, with a supporting cast that includes the likes of Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones's Diary) and Emma Sidi (Starstruck), you can expect plenty of belly laughs, too.
