BBC Motherland star Joanna Lumley makes surprising confession about show


Joanna Lumley has appeared in just two episodes of BBC comedy Motherland, but she was so taken with the show she was more than happy to sign up for its new spin-off.

The beloved actress made a splash entering Motherland in its third season and describes her experience as "greatest fun", which naturally led to excitement at reprising her role as Felicity in the upcoming spin-off. Premiering on February 5, we'll follow the adventures of Felicity's daughter Amanda—portrayed by Lucy Punch—as she navigates life post-divorce with her children Manus and Georgie stepping into secondary school. The lineup also welcomes new faces such as Samuel Anderson from Gavin And Stacey, as Mal the neighbour, Siobhán McSweeney of Derry Girls fame as the fresh acquaintance Della, and Peter Serafinowicz who steps into the role of Amanda’s new beau Johannes.
