Motherland
School’s out for the festive season so the mums, and Kevin (Paul Ready), are busy prepping for the ultimate in blended Christmas celebrations.

I'd slightly gone off Motherland in series two. It has started off so well with Liz (Diane Morgan) talking about keeping cheese in the freezer in the very first outing. Maybe after this it got too close to home, maybe it wasn't funny enough. And then series three started the same Monday night as the new Inside No 9 and I didn't quite pay attention. But over the weekend I caught up with episode 4 and it really is back on form.
The date has been confirmed for the return of hit sitcom Motherland.
The comedy following the chaotic lives of the school run mums will return to BBC Two on Monday, May 10 at 9pm.
Series three includes a guest appearance from Joanna Lumley as the mother of stuck-up mum Amanda (Lucy Punch).
The mums – and dad – are back to navigate the pitfalls of parenting and the clash of cliques formed at the school gate in Motherland. The new series sees the gang tackle a nit pandemic, a school trip and Mothers Day which sees Amanda (Lucy Punch) endure lunch with her mum Felicity (played by Joanna Lumley)
If it’s Christmas, it’s time for Amanda’s (Lucy Punch) Annual Seasonal Soiree (dress code; Tinsel and Tiaras!). Nothing says festive like Evil Santa, a thirty-foot Christmas Tree and very strict rules about where you can and can’t drink mulled wine. Only Meg (Tanya Moodie) has an official party invite but Julia (Anna Maxwell Martin), Kevin (Paul Ready) and Liz (Diane Morgan) tag along as her plus threes.
It was announced just before this second series started that there would be a third series of Motherland. It's be interesting to see how it evolves as there are a few changes in the opening episode of the second run.
The BBC has confirmed that a third series of hit sitcom Motherland has been commissioned.
The second series starts on Monday 7th October at 10pm on BBC Two and the whole second series will be available immediately afterwards on BBC iPlayer.
The programme,started life as a New On Two pilot and was commissioned for a full series soon after.
The BBC has announced a slate of upcoming comedies, including a live edition of Inside No. 9 and a second series of Motherland.
It's been pretty canny of the BBC to put this whole series out on iPlayer straight away. Let's face it, how many stressed mums are going to feel like having their knackered lives played back to them at 10pm after the kids have finally been superglued into their beds. With iPlayer they can watch it when they are in the mood. But I'd advise everyone to watch it pretty soon, it's hilarious, if a bit painful to watch for parents.
