A new comedy series is set to air on BBC Three soon, coming from "the unique comedy mind of Lucia Keskin".

Things You Should Have Done is described as an "offbeat" and "dysfunctional" family sitcom following a young woman dealing with the sudden death of her parents, who has to complete a list of tasks set by them to inherit their house.

The series was created by Lucia Keskin who is known for her YouTube channel 'Chi With A C' where uploads comedy sketches.

A synopsis of the show in the Radio Times reads: "An overly dependent young woman's parents die in a car accident, forcing her to fend for herself. It transpires she will inherit the house on condition she completes a list of 'Things You Should Have Done' left by her parents.

"Chi's highly strung Auntie Karen wants nothing to do with her 'pest of a niece', but very much wants the house she feels is rightfully hers."

Speaking about what inspired her to write the show, Keskin told the BBC: "Two years ago I lost my Grandad who was my best friend and like a father to me. He got me into my love of comedy in the first place.

"It was the first time I’d ever properly experienced grieving and how awful it really is. Humour was sort of the only thing that helped me through it, so when I met with Steve Monger (Exec Producer) I said that I wanted to write something that touched on grief and the surreal side of it."
