Spotlight Star
I couldn't pick just one Spotlight Star for this sitcom, so I'm going to champion two memorable roles.
Firstly, Alice Felgate is a gem portraying Amber, and I would love to see her in more comedies as she has the talent to do so.
Also, in the role of Rocky, Jassa Ahluwalia is a sensational anchor for the series. Of course, the role of a funny character is frequent in a sitcom, but Rocky and Amber both take this to another level.
Opinion
I have fond memories of watching Some Girls when it was first shown on TV, and when I saw that it was on BBC iPlayer, I HAD to watch it all again. It is just as funny and relatable as I remember. I would recommend anyone to watch it, and I doubt you will be able to keep yourself from laughing.
