We Are Lady Parts is a Channel 4 Sitcom that premiered in 2021. The show is available as a Peacock original in the US.Lady Parts is an all-female Muslim punk band trying to make it big in London. It is comprised of earthy cartoonist/bassist Bisma (Faith Omole), surly drummer Ayesha (Juliette Motamed), rebellious lead singer Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey), and enigmatic band manager Momtaz (Lucie Shorthouse). Saira, the leader, feels that they're missing something and starts searching for a lead guitarist to fill out their sound. Through this, they cross paths with Amina (Anjana Vasan), a PhD candidate with a deep love of music, and manage to recruit her. Faced with a social circle that views music — especially punk music — as haram, Amina must now juggle her commitment to the band, her crippling stage fright, and her quest for a husband.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Zarina is introduced as an influencer who wants to ally with Lady Parts, but turns out to be manipulative and pushes her own agenda without much care for how her actions affect the group. Amina gradually comes to see that Noor is actually quite controlling and judgmental and isn't the best friend she thought she had.

Concert Climax: The sixth episode. The band has broken up in the wake of Zarina's explosive article, but Momtaz decides to stage their own concert in an abandoned junkyard, before which the original members make up. Amina then has to rush to the venue and makes it just in time for a killer guitar part.

Wardrobe Flaw of Characterization: Amina's style is very girlish, resulting in her clashing visually with both Lady Parts (who dress in dark and bold colors) and her original circle of friends (who dress more maturely) symbolizing her inherent discomfort around both groups.

True Companions: Lady Parts are a tight-knit group who are there for one another through thick and thin and encourage each other to be true to themselves. This leads Amina to realize the band are better friends to her than her own friends, who want her to slot neatly into society's expectations.

Shallow News Site Satire: The peppy influencer-turned-journalist Zarina works for an online magazine, Yellow Tongue, which Saira derides as shallow clickbait. Montaz defends it, saying they also do real journalism besides the fluff. However, Zarina herself turns out to be an Immoral Journalist who manipulates situations around the band for her own gain and deliberately misrepresents them in her feature for online outrage and notoriety.

Bad Review Threat: Drummer Ayesha also drives for Uber. She is giving a ride to a trio of rude guys who see her in her hijab and ask if her dad is making her drive. She responds sarcastically ("Yeah, he said if I don't drive simple, dickless pissheads around, he's going to send me to Iraq to marry my cousin.") One of them thinks she is serious but another threatens to give her a one-star rating. Ayesha does not care and deliberately puts on loud heavy metal music just to mess with them.
