Julia Davis
It’s interesting the way Sky Atlantic has scheduled Camping. The latest series from the pungent pen of Julia Davis is filmed as six separate episodes but is being shown as two at a time back-to-back over a three-week period. Maybe Sky thought the episodes were so good they couldn’t wait to get them out.
If casting is any guide – and it usually is – Sky's new comedy Camping should be very special indeed.
Nighty Night and Hunderby creator Julia Davis writes, directs and stars in this tale of a couples’ camping trip that goes horribly wrong*.
Comedy costume drama Hunderby is to return to Sky Atlantic with a two-hour Christmas special. Sky has announced that filming due to commence this Spring.
It had previously been reported that there would be no more episodes, but the special of the series, created by Julia Davis, is expected to wrap up some of the loose ends. Set in an isolated rural parish in the early 1800s, Hunderby is a twisted Austen world of doomed romance, closet homosexuality and accidental incest.
We haven’t seen much of Julia Davis on television since her Sky Atlantic costume comedy Hunderby, apart from all-too-brief cameos in Inside No 9 and Psychobitches. But that is due to change in 2015. Davis, best known for the warped humour of Nighty Night, is due to return in Morning Has Broken, a C4 comedy about a breakfast television presenter named Gail Sinclair battling to save her failing career.
Be still my beating heart. Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith return to our screens with Inside No 9, six self-contained comedies with some delicious shocks and surprises. They talk about the series, their other plans and the inevitable prospect of a League of Gentlemen reunion.
BD: Six one-off comedy chillers? How exciting. Does it feel like a departure for you?
