Amanda Redman’s new BBC One comedy pilot has left viewers begging for more, after they found it ‘hilarious’.
Her one-off comedy drama Bumps told the story of Anita (played by Amanda), a single woman of 62 who decided she wanted to have a baby via IVF, before discovering her daughter was also pregnant.

Viewers were expecting a potentially dull and predictable comedy but were delighted to be met with cheeky one-liners, hilariously awkward scenes and even a joke about a vibrator.
One viewer said: “Better than expected, actually. Good cast, some good music.”
Another agreed saying: “I was FULLY PREPARED to not like #Bumps but actually it’s quite good.”
Having a baby at her age? She’s older than the NHS.
Viewers now really want to see more…
So many laughs to enjoy in #Bumps and whoever cast @redman1_amanda and @Lou_Jameson as sisters is a genius. Bring on a series.

As the comedy unfolded, viewers were in stitches over one particular scene when Anita showed a video to her IVF doctor with the eager phrase: “Have a look at this, this is me on my vibrator…”
@redman1_amanda #Bumps “This is me on my vibrator…” made me turn my head around from pouring kettle so fast I now have whiplash. #dirtyminded

There was much praise for lead actress Amanda Redman in her role as the determined Anita, who decided that she wanted a baby after realising her child-avoiding son and daughter wouldn’t be giving her any grandchildren to spoil.
Although, some will be in for a disappointment as they didn’t realise it was only a one-off (for now)…
Loved @BBCOne #Bumps. Am still smiling thinking about it #amandaredman

However not all viewers thought the new series was funny, with a few watchers describing the new comedy as ‘clumsy’ and ‘predictable’.
Was #Bumps good, was Bumps bad…?? 😕 I didn’t think it started very well. It felt a bit of a ‘clumsy’ introduction. Parts didn’t make sense, but there were also one or two good lines. Worth a series?? Not my cup of tea, but others may like it.

Great cast, great acting but so predictable. I would love to see a series with this cast but the storyline would have to be so much better. #bumps

Oh my god. This is worse than any sitcom I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve watched 6 mins and I’m blown away how it ever got commissioned. #Bumps
