Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
BBC Three's 2012 'youth' slate tried to make British teen pregnancy aspirational-comedy; this was the only one that landed. The channel itself died in 2016, making this a time capsule.
Scarlett Alice Johnson and Sean Verey were both in their mid-20s playing 18-year-olds—her previous big role? The 2007 remake of St Trinian's. The range!
