HELEN WALSH HELEN

A BAFTA BREAKTHROUGH BRIT AWARD WINNER IN 2016 FOR HER DIRECTORIAL DEBUT THE VIOLATORS, for which she also wrote the screenplay, Walsh is now taking up dual roles again for Channel 4 drama The Gathering. The six-part drama centres on a violent attack on a teenage girl during a rave on a tidal islet and explores a group of teens from disparate backgrounds, each of whom could have committed the crime, as well as their parents who all have equal cause for suspicion. Walsh describes the series as “a twisty, state-of-the-nation take on Philip Larkin’s notorious ‘they fuck you up’ observation about parents and kids,” with a series that asks, “Who is really to blame when our kids fuck up?” clude ack and st f dy worst he ng a chain ything from W A R W I C K T H O R N T O N WARWICK THORNTON
