Overview
When Amanda's Tesla is towed away due to another failed repayment, Amanda's forced to admit that maybe her social media brand ‘Senuous' isn't quite the money spinner she'd hoped for. So she decides to collaborate ('co-lab') with a local kitchen shop – Kichen's Kitchens and Bathrooms – in the hope of making a quick buck, though she's keen not to make this public knowledge. All this coincides with ‘parents evening', where Amanda is told that her daughter Georgie needs to focus more. Unfortunately, her new work schedule means she's not able to oversee Georgie's homework, so she calls on a favour from Anne to help tutor Georgie. Anne's thrilled at the idea of shaping young minds - she's always wanted to be a teacher herself - but it's not as easy as it seems. Meanwhile, Mal struggles with helping his own son with his maths coursework, and Della and Fi launch their sister restaurant Double Shin.
About the show
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland , a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland , is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda. Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison). With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone. Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home. After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
