LUCY FORBES

FROM THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD TO IN MY SKIN, for which she won a Welsh Bafta award, Forbes has helmed some of the best British TV of recent years. Her most recent job was working as lead director on This is Going to Hurt, the BBC and AMC adaptation of Adam Kay’s memoir about life as a junior doctor working in the National Health Service (NHS). The series stars Ben Whishaw as Adam, who is juggling his personal life with a hectic job on the labour ward and meets Shruti (Ambika Mod), who is similarly struggling with the demands of the role.

BRITISH DIRECTOR BATHURST MOST RECENTLY WORKED AS LEAD DIRECTOR ON WESTERN SERIES BILLY THE KID AND VIDEO GAME ADAPTATION HALO, while his other notable credits include His Dark Materials, Peaky Blinders, the first episode of dystopian anthology Black Mirror and Criminal Justice. He is now attached to lead The Winter King, a 10-part historical drama based on Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles. Produced by Bad Wolf (His Dark Materials, A Discovery of Witches), the series offers a revisionist take on the Arthurian legend, following Arthur Pendragon as he evolves from outcast son to legendary warrior and leader in the fifth century – a time before Britain was united and was instead a land of warring factions and tribes.
