Smoggie Queens is a BBC Three, BBCiPlayer and BBC1 comedy that follows a group of like-minded friends in the small northeastern town of Middlesbrough where the locals are known as 'smoggies'. This six-part comedy created by Phil Dunning, shows their pride in the town, which feels neglected in its own little corner of the UK, and their own underdog stories as they explore their identities in their own tiny pocket of the LGBTQ+ community.
"I'm absolutely buzzing that the BBC took Smoggie Queens to series and I'm so grateful to them for allowing me to write such stupid and weird characters," says Phil. "It’s been a beautiful dream working with Hat Trick, and the incredible cast already feel like my new chosen family. I can’t wait to introduce the sights, sounds and smells of Middlesbrough to the world."
