Bridget Christie brings more change to Channel 4

Channel 4 has announced that Bridget Christie’s comedy series The Change has been commissioned for a second series.

The comedy is created, written by, and starring Bridget Christie returns for another run of episodes.

At the start of series two, Linda (Christie) has got some explaining to do. Faced with the repercussions of the lies she’s told the forest community, along with losing the Mother Tree, and the arrival of husband Steve who has come to bring her home, Linda’s future in the forest looks uncertain. But she’s already come a long way since being mother/wife/homemaker Linda Jane Jenkins of Swindon, and her journey is far from over.

She may have only been Eel Queen for a day, but something’s changed in Linda which means she’s not done yet – in fact she’s only just started. But little does she realise what a huge impact this decision will have on the town…and Steve.

Charlie Perkins, Head of Comedy, Channel 4:

“Of course soon after the Spring Equinox feels like the perfect time to celebrate the return of The Change to Channel 4. The critical and cultural response to series one was special; celebrating a distinctive, artistic, and uniquely funny take on subject matter we hadn’t seen reflected in comedy before. We’re looking forward to being back with Bridget, Expectation and the eels in The Forest Of Dean.”

The series is produced by Expectation and the latest episodes will begin production later this year.
