Veronica faces living someone else's life in ITV1's new four-part drama Boy Meets Girl. She finds herself occupying the body of a man in this gender swap comedy, while the man fills her high heels.
The switch occurs when Danny (Martin Freeman) is stealing copper wire to repay a debut. He and stranded motorist Veronica (Rachael Stirling) are struck by lightning — and change bodies.
This results in her going around behaving like a bloke, demanding fizzy pop and being appalled at the state of men's public lavatories. At a dinner party with friends, she lounges about wearing a hoodie and talks about conspiracy theories just like Danny would.
So far Veronica has been seen doing most of the discovering what it's like to be a man in a woman's body. And Rachael Stirling is very good at being blokish, whether it's her mannerisms or her speech.
Her boyfriend is understandably mystified by her new mannish behaviour.
She's not much enamoured of him either.
Worse still, she reckons his record collection is rubbish.
