TV like Just Act Normal is the reason BBC Three exists. This new drama, about three siblings who, through fear of being separated by Birmingham social services, must hide from the rest of the world that their mother has disappeared, is a showcase of brilliant new acting talent, clever scriptwriting, and observes a slice of young British life people with empathy, humour and generosity, even when the context is unimaginably bleak. It might not have been made if not for BBC Three.

Aimee Lou Wood’s teeth were not up for discussion when she won a Bafta playing a sixth former on Netflix sensation Sex Education. They were not up for discussion when she played Sally Bowles in Cabaret on the West End, or when she starred alongside David Morrissey in BBC Three’s excellent odd-couple sitcom , or when she played bereaved mother and campaigner Tracey Taylor in Jack Thorne’s Toxic Town.

A little while ago I was at a party when someone let slip that a close friend was having a baby. Everyone is having babies around me now – if I get a text asking “How are you?”, I know what’s coming – so it should hardly have been a shock, and it is unequivocally happy news. Except I wasn’t expecting it, and it knocked me sideways.  I gripped the sides of the sink, as the loudmouth tried to retract what they’d said and to understand my reaction. It wasn’t something I could articulate at the time.
