Pearl convinces her friends Jan, a single mother, Shelley, a wannabe TV star, and Linda, who has a challenging family life, to have a girl’s day out to the races for her leaving do.
After a lucky find gets them into the event, the four friends enjoy their day with their personal lives and relationships unveiled in both humorous and somewhat more heartfelt interactions.
Amanda Whittington, Writer of Ladies Day said: “I think what audiences enjoy about Ladies’ Day is that it is about ordinary life, and I mean that in the best sense of the word.
“Four ordinary women have an extraordinary experience and without wishing to give it all away, they come close to winning a huge amount of money.
“I think people enjoy seeing other people’s lives suddenly transformed in the space of a day. It’s funny and poignant and the characters are very familiar.”
