Stresses In A Marriage And In Family

Hackney Gets A Bit Of A Bad Rap, But It's The Only Place I've Ever Lived That Felt Like A Community. I Know My Neighbours.

I Never Used To See Anything On Tv Where The Man Was In The Weaker Position. It Was Always The Female Showing Emotion, Breaking Down, Being Emotionally Torn Apart By Men.

Spending Way Too Long Worrying About What People Think About Me Is A Bad Habit.

I Started Writing Sketches With Dennis Kelly, Who I Ended Up Writing 'pulling' With. We Entered A Bbc Competition And Did Quite Well, Then Started Writing Bits For Other People's Shows. You Wheedle Your Way In, Write Pilots And Eventually You End Up Writing A Sitcom.

I Despise Shows That Present Friendship Where You're Always There For Each Other And Really Strong Because I Don't Know Anyone Like That. I Mean, I've Got Great Friends, But I Can Go Months Without Seeing Them Because I Think, 'i Just Can't Deal With Having To Give You Anything.
