But modern life isn’t a “yellow wood”, with a couple of dusty paths splitting like a divining rod. And it’s this tangle of possibilities that governs We Might Regret This, a new BBC Two comedy-drama about friends and family, work and play, and the inconvenient spaces in between. Guest stars like Lolly Adefope and Tim Key bring moments where the comedy stretches into something broader, but, at its best, We Might Regret This has a tone that embraces the chaos of farce without relying on the narrative disruption. As a portrayal of life with a disability – something which the show consciously lampoons, as Freya becomes involved in the world of body-positivity modelling – it is unflinching yet accessible.
