Flatmates Rhona and Leanne's lives are turned upside down after they witness a shocking gangland shooting. Forced in to witness protection the girls quickly discover that assuming a new identity isn't simple... Whilst Leanne jumps at the chance to create an extravagant alter-ego, Rhona is paralysed by fear telling the simplest lie. And with two teenage gang members - the self-styled ‘DJ Sound as F***’ and ‘Appraisal’ – determined to track them down, the girls find themselves getting deeper and deeper in to trouble. Written by Joe Tucker and Lloyd Woolf and starring Kerry Howard.
BBC Three may have found its first original comedy hit since moving online.
