Sophie Willan’s Bolton-comedy, Alma’s Not Normal, is set to return to the BBC this autumn.
The 6 x 30 episodes centre on Alma and her family of “eccentric, unruly women.” It was created by Willan in 2018 when she was inaugural winner of the BBC’s Caroline Aherne Bursary Award.
It’s very much Willan’s vehicle, as she not only writes, but stars and executive produces the show.
Boltonian wild child Alma is back! Don't worry, she's still not normal 😉
