Don't know if anyone saw the original quirky comedy, Alma's Not Normal, written and staring Bolton girl, Sophie Willan, but I enjoyed it, it won for her a few awards and a second series has just started.

The comedy is set in Bolton and for someone like me who hasn't been back there in some years, it's good to catch glimpses of the town.

Worth a watch imo

I really enjoyed the first series.

This one is terrible.

No wit or cleverness in the script, just a lot of screaming and swearing.

How we miss Victoria Wood.

Have any of you been watching Alma's Not Normal?

This is set in Bolton andd occasionally in Manchester.

It is a comedy that is Based on a true story if you google the main actress!

I do find it strangely odd but very brave of the actress to let her private life out in to the public domain no matter how embarrasing people may think of her past situation.

I feel that there is still a stigma about people working in prostitution (or escorting as it's more known as today).

I think perhaps this is one way to get rid of those past demons she may have?

I'm pretty sure it is as can be seen if people watch the final series to the end.

I quite enjoyed it, her mum I believe was ill mentally and Willan was brought up by her grandma until she died.

I think it probably was her northern grit and humour that got her through all the bad times. I don't think she's proud of how she had to deal with life but then again why should she be ashamed of what she had to do either.

I think the two series have been based around her real life.

Good luck to her.
