The creative team behind the BAFTA award-winning sitcom Him & Her has been reunited for a new TV project. Writer/Executive Producer Stefan Golaszewski (pictured), Director Richard Laxton, Producer Lyndsay Robinson and Executive Producer Kenton Allen will be working on MUM for BBC2.

Olivier Award winner and BAFTA-nominated actress Lesley Manville (Another Year) stars as 'Mum', a mother at a milestone in her life. According to the press release, "we follow her and her family through a year of new beginnings as she rebuilds her life following the death of her husband."

The six-part series has been commissioned by Shane Allen, Controller, Comedy Commissioning and Kim Shillinglaw, Controller, BBC Two and BBC Four.  

Kenton Allen said:  "It's an amazing privilege to breathe life into Stefan's distinctive take on the family sitcom with the same team that made Him & Her. And we're thrilled to have Lesley Manville as our leading lady who we have dreamed of working with for many many years. It's a family show, made by what is now a tight knit creative family driven by Richard Laxton's inspired direction."

Him & Her ran on BBC Three for four series from 2010 to 2014. The sitcom received critical acclaim and rating success - becoming one of the channel’s most successful sitcoms. The final series Him & Her: The Wedding was awarded a BAFTA for Best Situation Comedy in 2014 and Best TV Situation Comedy at the Writers’ Guild Awards for Stefan Golaszewski.
