Personal Affairs aims to show what life is really like for PAs working in the city who earn a fraction of what their bosses do yet are expected to carry a lot of their workload. Scriptwriter, Gabbie Asher who previously worked on EastEnders is well aware of the perils that face PAs as she used to be one herself.
"For me, Personal Affairs truly captures the unique experience of working in an office with a group of girls – the fun, the friendship, the bickering, the hopes and dreams, the tears and the personal dilemmas that arise every day. Friendship is at the heart of this drama as the girls help one another navigate through a myriad of life choices, with varying success!
"There is nothing more glorious than being in the company of friends who you know will support you and tell you the truth, whether you want to hear it or not. For me, the Personal Affairs workplace in this drama is the dream office. You'll want to work alongside Midge, Lucy, Nicole, Sid and Grace, share stories with them and be friends with them because these girls genuinely care about one another, even though their personalities are poles apart."
We have spent years looking for the Brit S&TC, we thought Mistresses might do it but the characters lacked the charm or pizazz to hold a candle to our beloved show. With a group of cracking characters on board, Personal Services might just be the one.
Personal Services airs on BBC Three later this year.

This sounds interesting.
I haven't heard of this show, but I'd be curious to see it. I'm guessing it will be different than anything out there (more realistic and not overly glamorous). It's funny - I never thought about it, but you're right that everything seems to come in fours. Even the SATC spin-offs like Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle didn't deviate from this.
could be good. plz let me know and i'll get it on dvd in the months to come - i no longer have tv!
i still miss SsTC!
Kwana - Yes it sounds great, I think I saw an advert for it last week and it looked really gripping.
The Haute-Shopper - All things do come in fours. Yes you are right Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle were inspired by Sex and the City.
Migratingfishswim - I will indeed fill you in on whether it is good or not. Although I am sure you can catch it on BBC iPlayer.
