Sally Wainwright on Her Latest Project
Sally Wainwright, creator of Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax, has brought attention back to West Yorkshire with her new BBC drama, Riot Women, filmed in and around Hebden Bridge.
Her latest work swaps crime and heartbreak for punk guitars and midlife rebellion, telling the story of five women who find their spark again through music, friendship, and chaos.
All episodes of Riot Women are available on BBC iPlayer, with the first episode airing on BBC One.
