What’s the story?
Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything.
Define everything.
Sex, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, Terry’s Chocolate Oranges … The list goes on.
Tell me more.
Sheridan Smith plays the titular character in a new Sky Comedy series about a woman who, after an embarrassing incident at her brother’s “dry” wedding, wakes up in hospital and vows to overhaul her life by “giving up everything”.
Facing up to her father’s ill health and the possibility of losing her job, Rosie has an epiphany: her addictions are destroying her friendships, her family and her career. But then comes another stark realisation: if our anti-heroine really does give up everything, will she lose the essence of herself?
Does it have comedy chops?
The six-part series sees Smith – whose CV includes The Royle Family, Gavin & Stacey and Benidorm – reunite with Susan Nickson, the creator/writer for the BBC sitcoms Grownups and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps (Smith starred in both shows).
Who is in the cast?
Father Ted stars Pauline McLynn and Ardal O'Hanlon play Rosie’s parents, with Lewis Reeves, known for his roles in I May Destroy You and Unforgotten, as her younger brother.
When can I watch?
Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything begins on Sky Comedy and NOW, Wednesday, 10pm. All episodes available to stream that same day.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
