BBC's most outrageous comedy ever - We Might Regret This - is dubbed 'wonderful, witty and liberating' as viewers praise X-rated sitcom about a tetraplegic woman which contains some VERY explicit scenes

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 21, 2024
Fans of the new hit show We Might Regret This have gushed about the 'funny, quippy and tense' programme which was created by Toronto-born artist Kyla Harris, who moved to the UK some 10 years ago. Kyla, who co-wrote and created the show with long-time friend Lee Getty, is a wheelchair user, who has some use of her arms. Though fictional, the series is inspired by some of the experiences shared by the two friends when Lee was working as Kyla's personal assistant (PA) some decades ago, a job she accepted not long after they met (which they now describe as a 'total risk'), but which ultimately yielded a strong bond. Lee does not appear onscreen, but Kyla does, playing a 30-something Canadian artist and tetraplegic Freya who has moved to London for 50-something lawyer Abe (played by Darren Boyd) with whom she's having a fast-moving relationship, with the two moving in together.

It's not often that a comedy drama will show the unfiltered reality of living with a serious disability, but new BBC 's series We Might Regret This does just that - and has won praise for it. The programme, which is considered by some to be the among the most outrageous produced by the broadcaster - was created by Toronto-born artist Kyla Harris (pictured) who moved to the UK some 10 years ago. Kyla, who co-wrote and created the show with long-time friend Lee Getty (pictured) is tetraplegic. She is a wheelchair user, who has some use of her arms. Though fictional, the series is inspired by some of the experiences shared by the two friends when Lee was working as Kyla's personal assistant (PA) some decades ago, a job she accepted not long after they met (which they now describe as a 'total risk'), but which ultimately yielded a strong bond. Lee does not appear onscreen, but Kyla does, playing a 30-something Canadian artist and tetraplegic Freya who has moved to London for 50-something lawyer Abe (played by Darren Boyd, pictured) with whom she's having a fast-moving relationship, with the two moving in together.
