DERRY GIRLS and BRIDGERTON star Nicola Coughlan is excellent alongside IT’S A SIN‘s Lydia West in her new sitcom about two millennial best friends.

But their 10-year friendship is sorely tested when Maggie’s bipolar disorder makes an unwelcome return, pitching her from manic highs to deep lows. BIG MOOD, drops this week (10pm, 28 March, Channel 4).
