6 hour drama series for BBC ONE, which was first broadcast at 8:00 pm on the 14th of January 2010.
Material Girl is a romantic comedy about a young fashion designer battling her former boss, a sexy but devilish business partner and snobby fashionistas to get her break in work and love. Lenora Crichlow (Being Human, Sugar Rush) stars as young designer Ali Redcliffe alongside Dervla Kirwan (Doctor Who) who plays Ali’s enemy Davina Bailey. Ali’s mercurial and brilliant business partner, Marco, is played by Michael Landes (Love Soup) and the role of her too-good-to-be-true love interest, Chris, is taken on by OT Fagbenle. Friendships and relationships, the ups and downs, solidarity, extraordinary chemistry and entwined destinies are the fabric of Material Girl.
