Lip Service returns

The cast of BBC Three's provocative drama Lip Service, produced by Kudos Film and Television through BBC Scotland, return to the streets, bars and clubs of Glasgow's Merchant City for a second series.

Ruta Gedmintas returns as edgy photographer Frankie, Laura Fraser as uptight architect Cat and Fiona Button as accident prone actress Tess. A new face, Anna Skellern, plays the straight talking Australian doctor, Lexy, who's turning heads and attracting attention. As her professional life finally takes off Tess is trying to concentrate on her career but the distraction of romance may prove too much. Cat remains torn between her love for Frankie and her commitment to charismatic cop Sam (Heather Peace). However, with Lexy now entering the fray, it's clear that life is going to get a lot more complicated for all of them.

Series two will introduce exciting new characters into the tangled web of sex, lies and true love set in contemporary Scotland. Neve McIntosh (Bodies), Sinead Keenan (Being Human) and Alana Hood (Field Of Blood) join the seductive and compelling tale of modern twenty-something lesbians finding their way in life.

The familiar lads from the first series, James Anthony Pearson as loveable author Ed and Emun Elliott as bad boy Jay are joined by Adam Sinclair (Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy) as irreverent, gay doctor, Declan Love.

Lip Service fans can look forward to developments in the girls' love lives, careers and friendships which are as complex and challenging as ever.
