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.
