See how the posh spice up their lives in this glossy new drama

It took far longer than it should have to remember where I'd seen frightfully posh mum Frances in Wild Cherry before. And as it turns out the actress, Sophie Winkleman, is posh in real life too, having married Lord Fredrick Windsor.

See how the posh spice up their lives in this glossy new drama

So she fits perfectly into this BBC six-parter. Wild Cherry is a lavish, if a bit daft, exploration of what it means to be the parent of a teenage kid in 2025.

That is, if you've got more money than sense, live on an estate so exclusive it calls itself the Island and are a big fan of judgemental curtain-twitching and backstabbing. Think Gossip Girl meets Mean Girls meets Footballers' Wives.

Frances is one of a group of alpha mums who live in the exclusive Richford Lake and send their daughters to an excruciating expensive private school, where the WhatsApp group is alive with gossip and the girls get up to all kinds.

At the centre of the story are best friends Juliet (Eve Best) and Lorna (Carmen Ejogo) whose daughters Allegra and Grace (Amellia May and Imogen Faires) are also besties.

Oh, and they run an app with online competition called the Catalogue where they take candid shots of themselves and their friends then charge their subscribers to vote for who is the hottest.
