A comedian and writer from Preston, Frog Stone, has written her own television drama which will be aired on BBC4.

Frog has written the comedy show ‘Bucket’ with a plot based around about a 70 year old woman who drags her reluctant daughter along on her journey as she ticks off items on her bucket list before its too late.

Frog will also be starring in the show too as Fran, a 30-something- year old History teacher who has an unfulfilling life.

A number of famous stars will be appearing in the BBC4 sitcom such as Miriam Margolyes, along with Stephanie Beacham and Maggie Steed who will be playing guest roles.

Frog was born in Fulwood and attended Broughton High School and Preston College.

At 18 she went to Cambridge University before embarking on her career as a comedian and writer.

Frog said: “The story is really about a troublesome mother/daughter relationship and how those two women reconcile themselves to the lives they have had and the lives they want.

“It’s a comedy but poignant too.

“I had wanted to write something for Miriam Margolyes, for a while, and then my father died and I wanted to tell a story I wouldn’t get to experience in real life.

Frog spoke about how coming from the North of the UK has inspired her to fulfill her career as a comedian and writer.

She continued: “The Northern sense of humour is key.

“It can be dry and warm, unlike Preston which is often cold and wet!”

Bucket airs at 10pm on Thursdays on BBC4
