Bridget Christie
Comedians Bridget Christie and Stewart Lee have split. Chortle has reported that Lee's publicist sent them the following unsolicited statement.
"Stewart Lee confirmed today that he and his wife, comedian Bridget Christie amicably parted and have been living separately since September 2021. Married in 2006, the couple remain friends and continue co-parenting."
Bridget Christie's self-penned sitcom is certainly distinctive, while at the same time touching on quite a few familiatr sitcom tropes. Christie plays Linda, a middle aged woman who is starting to be forgetful. Could it be early onset dementia, she wonders. She goes to her doctor with a list of issues and he immediately suggests she is going through the menopause.
The Change is a comedy drama about Linda, a 50-year-old, married, working-class, mother-of-two who’s having an existential crisis prompted by the menopause. After realising how much time she’s spent doing invisible work for those around her, she jumps on her motorbike and returns to the Forest of Dean, where she spent time as a child. Bridget, you star as Linda, but you also wrote and produced the series. What was your original vision for The Change?
