Summary
A new BBC comedy, Ann Droid, just dropped and it’s a heartfelt, tech-infused exploration of grief and loneliness — starring a lonely widower, her AI companion, and a hilarious, long-suffering taxi driver played by Danny John-Jules. The first episode dropped July 17th, and fans of Death in Paradise will recognize Brian, the witty, slightly chaotic driver who’s chauffeured Eileen for 40 years — and is now chasing better reviews while dodging his past. With Danny’s charm and the show’s emotional core, this six-part series is streaming now on BBC iPlayer — and it’s already got a second episode packed with surprises.
