The Change is a star-studded comedy written by and starring comedian Bridget Christie.
Bridget plays Linda, a 50-year-old menopausal mum-of-two who embarks on an exciting adventure of self-discovery.
The six-part series sees Linda become concerned that she has early-onset dementia but she soon discovers that her symptoms are in fact connected to the menopause.
Not only is she battling menopause symptoms, but she's fed up with her egotistical husband Steve not pulling his weight around the house and taking her for granted.
Talking to What To Watch, Bridget revealed: "Linda is stunned, but it spurs her into action and she decides that she's going to take back control of her life!"
So, she dusts off her beloved Triumph motorbike and heads to the Forest of Dean to find a childhood time capsule as she meets a number of outlandish residents.

The Change plot
The official plot synopsis of The Change reads: "Who is she? What is she? Is this it? Convinced she’s got early onset dementia after forgetting what a shoe is called, Linda's GP informs her it is, in fact, the menopause.
"Feeling invigorated and empowered by this information, Linda decides to claw back some of the time she's spent doing 'invisible work' over the years (not all 3.5 million minutes, just 131,500 of them) and do something for herself... for a change.
"Dusting off her old Triumph motorbike that she hasn’t ridden in 30 years, Linda sets off alone to the spectacular wilderness of The Forest of Dean – in search of an identity, a purpose and a tree she climbed as a child.
"Along the way, she meets an array of eccentric locals, including the infamous Eel Sisters, an angry local radio presenter and a mysterious man who lives in the woods with the wild boar. What could possibly go wrong?"
