Bridget Christie Joins BBC’s Hilarious Hit "Things You Should Have Done"
Okay, so let’s talk about some big, brilliant comedy news that’s just dropped — Bridget Christie, yes the Bridget Christie, has officially joined the cast of the hit BBC comedy Things You Should Have Done for its second season. I don’t know about you, but that’s the kind of casting announcement that just makes your day a little brighter, right?
Filming is already underway in the seaside town of Ramsgate, which honestly feels like the perfect setting for this kind of wonderfully chaotic show. The series was created by and stars the hilarious Lucia Keskin, known for her sharp, surreal humor and her online persona "Chi With a C." She plays Chi, a self-declared "stay at home daughter" who's still dealing with the absurd list of life lessons and tasks her parents left her with. And now, she has to face that list again — this time, with Bridget Christie’s character Ruth barging into her life.

Now let’s get into Ruth — described as an “unhinged and unprofessional” grief counselor, and played by Christie with what I imagine will be the perfect mix of chaos and compassion. Ruth’s role? Forcing Chi out of her comfort zone (or more like dragging her out) and back into a world of unpredictable tasks, social awkwardness, and life lessons that Chi would absolutely rather avoid. And Ruth is not just bossy — she’s messy, intrusive, probably inappropriate, and 100% entertaining.
Christie herself has joked, “I’ve always wanted to play a bisexual therapist in a Lucia Keskin show that films near the sea. Living the dream, folks. Living the dream.” Honestly, that quote alone tells you exactly what kind of vibe she’s bringing — pure, offbeat brilliance.
And she’s joining a show that’s already picking up serious acclaim. Things You Should Have Done snagged Best Comedy Programme at the 2024 Broadcast Digital Awards and Best Scripted Comedy at the 2025 RTS Awards. Not bad, right? Lucia Keskin, who also writes the series, is even up for the BAFTA TV Craft Awards as Emerging Talent: Fiction. So yeah, the show’s not just funny — it’s legit .
Alongside Christie and Keskin, returning cast members Daniel Fearn (as the newly single Dave) and Jamie Bisping (as Lucas, trying and failing to become a responsible adult) round out this wildly dysfunctional but somehow lovable gang. Together, they continue to wreak havoc on Ramsgate and anyone who gets caught in their orbit.
Season two will consist of six half-hour episodes and will stream on BBC iPlayer and air on BBC Three. If you haven’t caught season one yet — seriously, now’s the time. Because with this cast, the upcoming season is shaping up to be even more unhinged, heartfelt, and hilarious than ever.
