Jane Garvey sits down with Dolly Alderton \u2013 the best-selling author and Sunday Times columnist to talk about BBC One\u2019s highly-anticipated series Everything I Know About Love.<\/p>\n

The seven-part series is inspired by Alderton\u2019s 2018 memoir of the same name. The show follows four graduates who move to London \u2013 Maggie (played by Emma Appleton is based on Dolly) \u2013 and is a homage to the golden grubbiness of yours 20s, a celebration of female friendships and captures the essence of female hedonism.<\/p>\n

Alderton discusses how working in TV has exposed the loneliness of writing, the difficulties of womanhood (namely having to spray-tan, clip in fake hair and select three million outfits before screenings \u2013 which male counterparts can avoid) and the difference between the memoir and the TV series. She talks of the liberation she felt changing her and Farley into Maggie and Birdy \u2013 and how part of this was self-preservation (she didn\u2019t have to listen to TV producers talking about how \u201cunlikeable\u201d Dolly was).<\/p>\n

What else can I expect from Episode 38?<\/h2>\n
