Tracey Ullman returned to the BBC in January of 2016 with a new six-part comedy series for BBC One. The show marks her first project for the broadcaster in thirty years, and her first original project for British television in twenty-two.

In the show, the talented comedian portrays a multitude of diverse and distinct characters living in, or visiting, the busy global HUB that is the UK. Below, watch Ullman channel 'National Treasure' dame Judi Dench!

Ullman is best known in the U.S. for The Tracey Ullman Show, which ran from 1987 until 1990 and spawned the long-running FOX cartoon series The Simpsons. She later produced programmes for HBO, including Tracey Takes On... (1996-99), for which she garnered numerous awards. Ullman's sketch comedy series, Tracey Ullman's State of the Union, ran from 2008 to 2010 on Showtime.
