Caroline Aherne: Our Manchester comedy royalty
Fittingly for pantomime season, comedian, actor, writer and director Caroline Aherne was something of a fairy godmother.
In Caroline Aherne: Queen of Comedy, previewed in Manchester shortly before its Christmas Day transmission on BBC Two, Passion Pictures celebrates and explores her private life, exceptional work and legacy.
The story of Aherne’s beginnings on a Manchester council estate, through her first forays on the local stand-up scene, to national stardom is told exclusively by the people whose lives she touched and enriched, personally and professionally.
