Nicole Henriksen and Siân Docksey co-write and star in a new series of Sunday Yoghurt, a comedy webseries about two confidently dysfunctional queer femme friends struggling to make art, money, and sense of the political backdrop to their messy London lives. Shot entirely inside Nicole's real-life Hackney bedsit, Siân visits every Sunday to discuss sexual politics, unpack low-key emotional trauma, deliver acerbic commentary on LGBTQ+ culture, and eat yoghurt.
Series 1 wrapped as Nicole deliberated whether to continue working as a stripper, and Siân resigned herself to being the world's most terrible lesbian. Over Series 2, we find Siân and Nicole discussing the practicalities of organising a queer sex party, evaluating their suitability for parenthood, debating the artistic merits of The Beatles, and being perpetually baffled by the mysteries of heterosexuality. They describe the series as "Broad City" meets "Waiting For Godot".
