CPL to produce Ann Summers drama
A new drama series focusing on the domestic lives of four Ann Summers party planners has been commissioned by ITV.
In what promises to be a “fresh, frank and funny” series, Brief Encounters follows four unlikely entrepreneurs whose lives are revolutionised by selling exotic lingerie.
Set in the early 1980s, Brief Encounters is inspired by the early chapters of Good Vibrations, the memoir of Ann Summers’ CEO Jacqueline Gold.
It is the first drama to be made for ITV by award-winning indie CPL Productions.
