Grant, Keeley (2022) Mum & Mother. MA by research thesis, University of York.
Abstract
Mum & Mother is a six-part family drama with motherhood at its core. Following the parallel stories of NATALIE FISHER (38) and her two daughters, KATE (22) and EMILY (15), the show explores womanhood from every angle, offering audience members a chance to see themselves represented on television, whether in their mid-teens, their early twenties or older. A show about women, for women. Think Gilmore Girls meets This is Us – a combination of real people experiencing the ups and downs of life and the intrinsic relationship between mothers and daughters. The everyday families of EastEnders, mixed with the cinematic world of dramatic television, like Amazon’s High School and E4’s My Mad Fat Diary. Though targeted towards women in their 20s to 40s, the show offers something to a broader audience through its representation of different socio-economic groups. It explores class differences, parenthood, quarter-life crisis and adolescence through its commercial hour.
