New drama series based on the novel by Julie Burchill. Meet 15-year-old Kim (Olivia Hallinan), who has an earth-shattering, hormone-surging crush on her new best friend, Sugar (Lenora Critchlow). Sugar is a bad girl. She's wild, sexy and exciting, and meeting her has turned Kim's world upside down. Kim and family have just moved to sunny Brighton.
Mum Stella (Sara Stewart) is an under-sexed woman on the verge of a mid-life crisis. Dad Nathan (Richard Lumsden) is at his happiest baking fairy cakes and is in complete denial about his failing marriage. Then there's Kim's little freak of a brother, Matt (Kurtis O'Brien) who has his own issues. In the face of Sugar's own keen interest in men, Kim tries to deny her sexual obsession and decides she must lose her virginity to a bloke. How does she know she's gay if she's never had sex? On the advice of their identikit gay neighbours, Dave and David, Stella employs a gorgeous decorator called Dale to do the house up. Dave and David's son Tom (Andrew Garfield) has fallen for Kim and is stalking her, but Kim rather thinks that Dale could be the answer to her virginity problem. Unfortunately someone gets there before her...
Roffle! So Kim's a lesbian and I have issues... Watch us on Channel 4 tonight at 10:50pm (UK)
