Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, the BBC show\u2019s cast members discussed how Everything I Know About Love \u201cfollows on\u201d from series like Sex and the City \u2013 while also breaking new ground with its UK setting.<\/p>\n Bel Powley (who plays Birdy) described the likes of Sex and the City as \u201cgroundbreaking\u201d for its focus on women\u2019s stories, but stressed that Everything I Know About Love is a first for UK television.<\/p>\n \u201cThere aren\u2019t that many series about women for women,\u201d she explained. \u201c[Sex and the City and Girls] are groundbreaking because [there] was never a show of that kind.<\/p>\n \u201cBut hopefully \u2013 I\u2019m not saying our show is groundbreaking, but you know \u2013 our show is gonna follow on. I don\u2019t think that there has been a show like that in the UK. So hopefully women everywhere will be very pleased and find it very relatable.\u201d<\/p>\n The BBC comedy-drama is adapted from the memoir of the same name by Dolly Alderton, the acclaimed writer and host of various hit podcasts, including Sex and the City-themed series Sentimental in the City.<\/p>\n Marli Siu (who plays Nell) said: \u201cIt makes sense that they\u2019ve all got stuff in common, like the fact there\u2019s like a writer protagonist [in those three shows], because there\u2019s clearly an inspiration, isn\u2019t there, from each of them?\u201d<\/p> She continued: \u201cIt makes sense that young women \u2013 like maybe Dolly, when she was younger \u2013 would be inspired by seeing a story like that and see herself in it and want to write; that\u2019s how people make stuff because they see that they can because there\u2019s a person that\u2019s showing them that it can be done.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I think there\u2019s a little bit of that \u2013 [it\u2019s] a good thing, that they\u2019ve all been inspired a little bit by each other.\u201d<\/p>\n Everything I Know About Love starts on 7th June 2022 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. <\/b>Check out our\u00a0<\/b>Drama<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0hub for more news, interviews and features or find something to watch with\u00a0our\u00a0<\/b>TV guide<\/b><\/span><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n You can purchase the book of Everything I Know About Love on Amazon<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
