1999

Bad Girls is a British television drama series that was broadcast on ITV from 1 June 1999 to 20 December 2006 and starred Simone Lahbib, Mandana Jones, Debra Stephenson, Linda Henry, Jack Ellis and many more throughout the eight-year run. The series was broadcast in 17 countries and was produced by Shed Productions, the company which later produced Footballers' Wives and Waterloo Road. It is set in the fictional women's prison of Larkhall, and features a mixture of serious and light storylines focusing on the prisoners and staff of G Wing. From 2010, the UK broadcast rights were bought by CBS Drama, and is repeated regularly – as of September 2012, the channel is re-running the series again in a late-night time slot.

Season 6 of Bad Girls picks up after Yvonne’s shocking death, with inmates believing she escaped. The arrival of undercover detective Frances Myers—posing as a prisoner—shakes up G-Wing, especially when she exposes manipulative newcomer Natalie Buxton as a child sex trafficker. Meanwhile, Kris Yates discovers Yvonne’s body, Jim Fenner spirals into a mental breakdown, and loyalties are tested as power struggles intensify inside Larkhall.
