Riot Women: exclusive screening

Would you like to be offered the chance to be in the audience for an exclusive screening of a new BBC TV series by Sally Wainwright?

Riot Women follows a group of middle-aged women who form a punk band and is due to run for six episodes

Set and filmed in Hebden Bridge, it is another of the multi-BAFTA award-winning writer’s shows that takes place in Yorkshire. The popular Happy Valley, Gentleman Jack and Last Tango in Halifax was also written by Huddersfield born Wainwright.

The show observes the lives of a teacher, a police officer, a pub landlady, a midwife, and a shoplifting freeloader: five menopausal women who have become invisible.

Riot Women will feature original songs from the band ARXX. The real-world duo describe songs like Ride or Die, Crying in the Carwash, and Good Boy as “power pop” and have more than 20,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
