Am I Being Unreasonable?

Am I Being Unreasonable? is a 6-part comedy-thriller series for the BBC written by and starring Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli.

Cooper plays Nic, a mum stuck in a depressing marriage grieving a loss she can’t share with anyone. Hizli plays Jen who arrives in Nic’s life as a kindred spirit and school mum, but both are concealing secrets.

The show’s title is borrowed from the Mumsnet message board of which Cooper told The Times “If you post anything on AIBU about whether you should end your marriage, they all scream ‘Leave the bastard,’ even if all he’s done is sing over the Coronation Street theme tune.” Cooper and Hizli knew each other from drama school. The show was partly improvised. Principal photography finished in February 2022. The producer is Pippa Brown and the director is Jonny Campbell. The production companies are Boffola Pictures and Lookout Point. Executive producers are Jack Thorne, Shane Allen, Jonny Campbell, Daisy May Cooper, Kate Daughton, Selin Hizl.

She's also battling a complex set of personal demons relating to her self-image; that is until she finds release through the unlikeliest source: the world of aerobics. At first hooked on the exercise itself, Sheila's real road to empowerment comes when she discovers a way to merge this newfound passion with the burgeoning technology of videotape to start a revolutionary business.
