Viewers on the BBC were left emotional after watching a brand-new series air on the broadcaster.
Ann Droid is a six-part comedy that features the likes of Sue Johnston and Diane Morgan.
However, it wasn't long before the series caused a stir online with many people rushing to share their thoughts on the how programme.
One viewer wrote: "#AnnDroid Funny, sad, incisive. Diane Morgan and Sue Johnson are brilliant. SueSueSue is a winner." Another enthused: "#AnnDroid is my new favourite telly show."
A further viewer posted: "Just watched the first episode of #anndroid by @Sarah_Kendall and Diane Morgan, and it is a great piece of writing and acting. Deserves to be a hit with viewers #suesuesue."
One fan declared: "Ann Droid is sharp, witty and gorgeously funny. Sue Johnston is brilliant as per, and if you're a fan of Diane Morgan, it's a real treat #AnnDroid @BBCOne"
While another concluded: "Watched episode 1 of #AnnDroid. Brilliantly funny, but also so full of emotion. It made me cry! Absolutely loved it."
Ann Droid launched on Friday night (July 17), with viewers tuning in to watch actress Sue Johnston portray lonely widower Sue.
Worried about her health and welfare, her son Michael (Paul Ready) arranges for her to receive an AI eldercare robot, much to her displeasure.
Putting the robot, whom she names Linda (Diane Morgan), through its paces, it becomes apparent that things are far from straightforward, as viewers witnessed the robot walk in on her while she was bathing and destroy her dressing gown.
Yet no sooner had the opening episode begun than audiences took to social media in their droves, with a striking number of viewers sharing remarkably similar thoughts, reports the Mirror.
Reflecting on her role, actress Diane Morgan revealed the most challenging aspect of portraying a robot.
She said: "What was hard was that Sue got these really emotional scenes, and I'm sitting next to her, motionless. But obviously I'm hearing everything, and she's amazing.
"There were times, sitting on the bed, where I thought, 'I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna cry'. And I can't cry, I'm a robot. It was really difficult."
While the pair's initial encounters were awkward, the episode concluded on a touching note.
Having a change of heart about returning Linda, Sue opts to keep the robot for a bit longer as she proves helpful in dealing with her isolation and bereavement, leading to an unlikely bond developing between them.
Ann Droid is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
