Written by Moran with her sister Caroline Moran, six new 30-minute episodes will begin filming later this year and will air in 2015.

Set on a Wolverhampton council estate, Raised by Wolves is a modern day re-imagining of Caitlin and Caroline’s childhood – “loads of kids, no money, home-schooled, and educating themselves on mankind’s great bounty of books, films, TV and pop music” – and stars Rebekah Staton (Pulling), Philip Jackson (Poirot) and Helen Monks (The Archers) alongside newcomers Alexa Davies, Molly Risker, Caden Ellis Wall, Lucie Brown and Kaine Zajaz.

Caitlin Moran commented: “It was foretold in ancient legend that when two sisters from a council-estate in Wolverhampton – one brunette and over-sharey, one ginger and angry – would, one day, write a sit-com for Channel 4, and finally popularise the local sayings of ‘To be fair,’ ‘I don’t reckon’, ‘Alright babba’ and ‘Ahhhhhh, binners’.” That day has now come. We now go and eat faggots and peas, to celebrate.”

Executive producer Kenton Allen added: “Caitlin and Caroline have a truly original comic voice and I’m delighted Channel 4 are giving them the chance to entertain the world with the joys of unconventional life in Wolverhampton. As a boy from Birmingham I predict the long overdue Midlands renaissance starts as soon as we’ve all had a nice cup of tea.”
