Transgender sitcom Boy Meets Girl 'will raise profile'
BBC Two is making history with a sitcom that revolves around a transgender character named Judy, who is played by trans actress Rebecca Root.
Boy Meets Girl won a competition organised by BBC Writersroom and All About Trans to find a script offering a positive portrayal of transgender characters.
Created by writer Elliott Kerrigan, it won the Trans Comedy Award and has now been turned into a six-part series.
It begins on BBC Two on 3 September.
