Up the Women is a BBC television sit-com created, written by and starring Jessica Hynes. It was first broadcast on BBC Four
on 30 May 2013. The sitcom is about a group of women in 1910 who form a Women's Suffrage movement. Hynes originally
planned to write a comedy film about a suffragette plot to assassinate Herbert Asquith, but after realising the plot had turned
quite dark, she decided to write a sitcom instead. Christine Gernon directed the three-part series, which became the last
sitcom to be filmed before a live audience at BBC Television Centre and the first to be commissioned for BBC Four. A second
series was commissioned in June 2013 and it began airing on BBC Two from 21 January 2015.
