“Boy Meets Girl”—New TV Series in UK

A new TV Series starting on ITV1 in UK next Friday is based on a scenario frequently found on BCTS–body swap.

To quote the blurb put out by ITV:

“Rachael Stirling and Martin Freeman star in Boy Meets Girl, a new comedy drama that follows a man and woman as a twist of fate causes them to swap bodies.

Freeman plays dreamer Danny Reed, whose life is turned upside down when he is struck by lightning and wakes to find himself trapped in a woman’s body. Instead of being a scruffy DIY store worker with no prospects, he has now swapped lives with glamorous female fashion journalist Veronica Burton, played by Stirling.

Danny suddenly has to learn how to walk in stilettos and put on a bra, how to deal with the amorous advances of Veronica’s boyfriend Jay (Paterson Joseph) and how to pass himself off as a fashion expert while also trying to find out what has happened to his old self.”

It does not seem to be a TG drama as such but it might well highlight the problems met by those who have just transitioned.
