The duo play a mother and daughter in the new series, which follows the title character as she attempts to liberate herself from a vast number of harmful addictions.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the first time that Smith and McLynn have assumed these roles as they previously co-starred in short-lived ITV sitcom Dark Ages, which lampooned then-contemporary anxieties in a medieval setting.<\/p>\n
\u201cI particularly loved working with Pauline,\u201d said Smith. \u201cThis is because she played my mum when I was 17 in my first ever TV job. We were reunited which was lovely.\u201d<\/p>
McLynn explained: \u201cI was her TV mother in a show that only got one very short season. It was called Dark Ages for ITV. She will always be 17 to me, which kept me a little bit young in my heart as well while we were on the set.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they\u2019re still the same joyous person they were when you met them first, then that\u2019s who they\u2019ll always be to you. So it was nice to pick up almost where we left off in a new, funny and touching series.\u201d<\/p>\n
Soon after Dark Ages aired on ITV, Smith would score roles in The Royle Family and Two Pints of Lager, which helped catapult her to comedy superstar status.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d say, \u2018Is that who we are now? Someone\u2019s elderly parents?’\u201d added McLynn. \u201cIn our heads, we are still the youngsters from 25 plus years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was wonderful; some good friends that you don\u2019t see from one year to another, but we didn\u2019t need to have much of a catch up. We continue from where we find ourselves and it was like that for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
