Sally Wainwright on Hebden Bridge and Making Noise
Sally Wainwright brings the spotlight to West Yorkshire with Riot Women, her latest BBC drama filmed in and around Hebden Bridge.
The creator of Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax swaps crime and heartbreak for punk guitars and midlife rebellion in a story about five women who rediscover their spark through music, friendship, and chaos.
All episodes of Riot Women are available on BBC iPlayer, with the first episode airing on BBC One.

Wainwright describes the show as a drama about women of a certain age who are at various stages of going through the menopause, but it’s not just about the menopause.
