Playing the Field (1998–2002)
6/10
90s nostalgia
8 January 2020
A watchable 1990's drama with a cast of whom many went on to be regularly featured on UK television in the following decades.

The series capitalised on the 'ladette' culture prevalent in Britain in the late 90's, which (perhaps paradoxically) tried to show women challenging stereotypes of the female gender by being, well, a stereotype of men.

The plot revolves around the rise of a women's football team who (despite regularly consuming enough lager to fell a silverback gorilla) appear to rise through the ranks of the game, whilst leading turbulent lives which would have left Brian Clough in his prime considering a change of career.
