My new comedy project is a series written by Kathy Burke for Sky Atlantic. The four-part Walking And Talking is based on her teenage years, dreaming of being an actress while skiving from school in a working-class area of London. It follows the success of the Little Cracker short film, which aired on Sky 1 over Christmas 2010 and told of how a chance meeting with The Clash changed Kathy’s life.
Ami Metcalf and Aimee-Ffion Edwards – who played the young Kathy and her best friend Mary in the Little Cracker – will reprise their roles, while Jerry Sadowitz does a rare acting turn as Jimmy the Jew.
