They say if you want something done, ask somebody busy to do it. So, we asked Madeleine Sami to join us for Playing Favourites, right as she was about to fly to Australia where she has been nominated for a Logie award for Best Actress for black comedy crime show Deadloch. Right after that she'll be whipping off to Darwin for four months to film the second season of the show.
Meanwhile on this side of the ditch her homegrown comedy, Double Parked, is launching its second season next week. The series, created by Chris Parker and Alice Snedden, is directed by Madeleine and sees her play one-half of a lesbian couple that finds themselves pregnant at the same time.
Double Parked season two launches on Thursday 22nd August on Three and ThreeNow.
