Daisy May Cooper has hinted This Country could return for a Christmas special
The 36-year-old actress co-created and co-wrote the BAFTA-winning comedy TV series with her brother Charlie Cooper, starring as Kerry and Lee 'Kurtan' Mucklowe respectively, and she admits the pair may "come back to it" after a much-needed break.
She said: "I don't know, maybe we'll come back to it. I just needed a bit of a break. We'll have to go back. Maybe a Christmas special or something. Why not? Make a bit of money."
Daisy's latest creation, comedy series 'Am I Being Unreasonable?', sees her star opposite best friend Selin Hizli, but the actress wasn't a big fan of the 33-year-old star when they first met.
Speaking on Saturday's (15.10.22) 'The Jonathan Ross Show', she says: "We met at drama school. You know you can make your mind up on someone in three seconds? I thought, 'I hate you. Really arrogant.' I don't know how, it's weirdly those people I dislike at the beginning I end up becoming close with."
'This Country' ran for three series from 2017 to 2020, and Daisy's dad Paul Cooper also appeared in the show.
But she previously joked that working with him was "horrendous".
She quipped: "Dad was absolutely terrible. He couldn’t remember his lines. It was horrendous."
Speaking about her brother, Daisy jokingly added: "[Charlie] wasn’t a professional actor. He went to uni to study sport science and then realised he was really thick."
Daisy studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) - but she doesn't have fond memories of her experience.
She shared: "I absolutely hated it.
"I’m annoyed now I’ve got to pay my student loan back. One of the lessons used to be, this really old director that we had, he must have been in his 80s, who used to just fall asleep when watching you perform, his only note was, 'Do it better.' "
'The Jonathan Ross Show', Saturday at 10pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
