We’ve highlighted a series of #ChooseToChallenge moments from the shows in our Wonder Women collection that allow us to consider our own thoughts, actions, feelings and perceptions.

Everything begins with a dialogue, but if you’re not sure how to broach the topic, stick on one of these programmes – the issues they raise are a good place to start in order to open up the conversation.
 

High Fidelity

Find it in On Demand > Box Sets > Wonder Women
Nick Hornby’s book is reworked for a modern audience with a fourth wall-breaking story that focuses on Robyn “Rob” Brooks (Zoë Kravitz), a record store owner in Brooklyn. She tells the viewers about her “Top Five Heartbreaks” through music and pop culture as she tries to get over the “one who got away”.

PEN15

Dubbed a “cringe comedy”, PEN15’s hilarity factor is largely down to Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle’s performances. The comics, who are in their 30s, play their younger 13-year-old selves as they navigate high school in the year 2000. Meanwhile, their fellow students are all played by actual teenagers. We shudder to think what reliving those awkward years would be like, but props to them for doing it and making a brilliant series out of it!

In real life, Maya and Anna are just as close, and were even pregnant at the same time. Maya captioned a photo of them both on her Instagram with: “BFFs making some future BFFs.”
 

Parks And Recreation

If you’re a fan of The Office US and know the words off by heart already, you probably gravitated towards Parks And Recreation next. Amy Poehler stars as Leslie Knope, a government official who works in the Parks Department of Pawnee, a fictional town in Indiana. The colourful characters are lovingly brought to life through standout acting from Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Rob Lowe, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones and more.

Inside The Ambulance: Wonder Women

Find it in On Demand > Box Sets > Wonder Women
Paramedics are unsung heroes who go largely unrecognised for the incredible work they do on a daily basis. This International Women’s Day one-off special features interviews with the outstanding women who have appeared on Inside The Ambulance over the past five years. For the first time, they’re seen off duty and at home, as well as on the job. Cameras inside the ambulance and the body-mounted cameras they wear capture how they respond to emergencies around Britain.
