Amandaland's Lucy Punch Explains the Show's Success

Amandaland returns with Lucy Punch.

Lucy Punch says Amandaland succeeds because people think they know the lead character.

Amandaland, a comedy spin-off, returns on BBC1. Lucy Punch, 48, told Radio Times that everyone knows an Amanda, but she's based on many people.

Amanda is many things: endearing, horrific, and obnoxious. She can't be just one thing or she'd have no friends.

Lucy compares herself to Amanda, saying she's hopeful and finds positives. She hopes she's more self-aware and less pretentious.

Amanda is with her mother Felicity.

Amanda lives in SoHa, works, and deals with her mother and kids. She wants to make South Harlesdon sound trendier.

Amanda realizes she's not better than others, but her ego remains. She wants everyone to think she's the best.

Lucy and the cast hope for awards success with four TV BAFTA nominations.

Lucy didn't imagine Amandaland would last 10 years, but the first script and cast were incredible.

Amandaland dominates the best comedy actress category at the Baftas with Lucy and others nominated.

Amandaland returns on BBC1 at 9pm on Wednesday and BBC iPlayer.
