Gemma Cairney joins actress writer and director Kathy Burke round at her house to talk about her love of television.

Gemma chats to actress and director Kathy Burke round at her house in North London about her passion for TV and how she spends her leisure time. From her first love of the early TV series I, Claudius to Big Brother and the Wire, Kathy discusses the TV shows that she loves as well as the shows she avoids. 

Kathy will also be discussing some of the songs that have shaped her life, how seeing Lady Gaga reignited her interest in music and her work in the theatre with Frantic Assembly for a forthcoming project I Think We Are Alone, a major new play by Sally Abbott which she is co-directing with Scott Graham.
