Gear Up for a Robot Revolution with Ann Droid!
Get ready to chuckle as Diane Morgan, best known for her roles in After Life and Philomena Cunk in the Cunk comedy franchise, takes the lead in Ann Droid. This comedy series, airing on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer, is set to drop in either 2025 or 2026. Although the exact date isn't set in stone yet, we'll update this page as soon as we have more info.
The series, a six-part comedy, whisks you away to the year 2029[1]. Follow Sue, a woman grieving the loss of her husband 18 months prior, and her attempts to adjust to life alone. Her son Michael, who's trying to save his own marriage, gifts her a D500 social humanoid eldercare robot to help her navigate her new life. These robots were created to ease the burden on the NHS, entertain the elderly population, and monitor their health.
At first, Sue struggles with the overly attentive and socially awkward robot. But soon, she discovers ways to leverage the robot's skills for her own benefit - settling scores and getting help with tasks Michael has neglected[1].
Morgan is overjoyed that the BBC has finally greenlit a show exploring AI's impact on our daily lives, stating, "I'm thrilled that the BBC has finally commissioned a programme about AI and how it will affect your mum." [2]
