Quarantine viral video: W1A returns

22 May 2020 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Many US TV show casts are reuniting by Zoom for charity read-throughs and even whole new episodes – Mythic Quest has just unveiled its latest episode, shot using 40 iPhones in the actors’ homes.

However, they’re not alone and yesterday, the cast of BBC Two’s W1A reunited for a five-minute special to announce the formation of the BBC Covid-19 Bounce Back Group.

Among those making an appearance are Hugh Bonneville, Monica Dolan, Sarah Parish, Jason Watkins and David Westhead.

Masterclass: In My Skin

Wednesday, 3 June 2020 – 8:00pm

Odeon, Cardiff

A masterclass with writer Kayleigh Llewellyn (Stella), director Lucy Forbes (End of the F***ing World), executive producer Nerys Evans (Catastrophe) and actors Jo Hartley (After Life) and Gabrielle Creevy (Gwaith/Cartref).

Shot in Cardiff, the series follows the double life led by 16-year-old Bethan Gwyndaf (Creevy) as she navigates school and a troubled home life that sees her bipolar mother Katrina (Hartley) sectioned by the crisis team at a psychiatric hospital. Her alcoholic father displays a lack of compassion to the situation, and Bethan fights hard to hide the truth of the life she really leads from her best friends, Travis and Lydia, and her teachers.

The session will focus on the making of the darkly comic BBC hit, and give a detailed look at the development process from the initial script to filming the pilot, and then on to first full series.

Hosted by BBC presenter Alexandra Humphreys.
