BBC One is set to air Ann Droid, a new comedy series exploring friendship, grief and the growing role of artificial intelligence in everyday life.
The series follows Sue, a grieving widow, and Linda, her outdated care robot who regularly gets things wrong and creates chaos, but ultimately helps Sue rediscover how to enjoy life again.
Set in a world where AI is becoming an increasingly present part of daily life, Ann Droid explores the question of what can truly be replaced and what cannot. The series combines comedy with a more emotional story about an unlikely friendship between a human and a machine.
Sue Johnston stars as Sue, while Diane Morgan plays Linda, a social humanoid robot designed to provide companionship for elderly people while also monitoring their health.
Through their unexpected relationship, Ann Droid examines the connections people form, the challenges of change, and the ways technology can affect human lives.
Ann Droid will air weekly on BBC One from Friday 17 July at 9.30pm, subject to confirmation, and will launch on BBC iPlayer at 6am on the same day.
