My favourite BTS photo in Yorkshire from our shoot for the feature film ‘The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry’ starring Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton.

I have fond memories of this job travelling up and down the country from South Devon to the Scottish border and everything in-between. It was also the first of many jobs I have worked on with Makeup Designer Carol Cooper and co

It was post-pandemic 2021 and we were all masked-up, looking like some kind of cult!

The film is having its network premiere on Channel 4 this Saturday night and is also on Prime Video and Netflix 🙌🏻❤️

A fun job over the past few months

Can You Keep a Secret? 🤫 We often have to - but today we can happily share that we've been quietly hosting new BBC One sitcom Can You Keep a Secret? starring the incomparable Dawn French, which has now wrapped production at The Bottle Yard Studios 🎬👏🎬👏

Also starring Mark Heap, Craig Roberts and Mandip Gill, the new six-part series written by Simon Mayhew-Archer (producer of hit BBC comedy This Country) began filming in March.

Filmed and set in the West Country, it's the story of an odd little family you haven’t met yet, but that you already know – a sitcom that places comedy icon Dawn French in the middle of some mischief we can all relate to...

Can You Keep a Secret? is a Big Talk Studios, Mayhay Studios and CBS Studios co-production for BBC One and iPlayer.

After a summer working away, being busy and taking a little break from social media, I’m back and still here doing what I love.

Here is a bit about a production I’ve been working on recently with a lovely cast and crew and a fabulous hair and makeup team - a remake of the classic detective drama series, Bergerac.

I’m looking forward to seeing it in 2025.

Have a great day everyone!
