2 w. ago Daisy May and Charlie Cooper’s NightWatch review – the This Country siblings are brilliant together

This ghost-hunting docuseries around various ‘haunted’ locations is a deeply flimsy premise. But you cannot fake the kind of chemistry this brother and sister haveThe last time I reviewed something with Charlie Cooper in as “himself”, he, or “he”, was visiting folkloric hotspots around the British Isles as the presenter of Myth Country. I was beguiled by the impossibility of identifying where his most famous creation, Kurtan, in the brilliant, heartbreaking comedy This Country, written by Charlie and his sister Daisy May, left off and the real Cooper began. Or, if you prefer, where the real Cooper left off and Kurtan began.

She was raised by her older brothers, John and Barry, who were 10 and eight when it happened, and sometimes by their father Pat, an alcoholic for many years, violent with it, who struggled to care for his family. Pat and Bridget had moved to London from Ireland, and the Burkes lived on an estate in Islington, where the other families played a vital role in raising and feeding the children. On his deathbed, in 1994, Pat asked Kathy to do two things: to give up smoking, and to write more. It has only taken her 30 years, she says, but she’s finally done the latter.The entertainment industry is top-heavy with people from middle-and upper-class backgrounds who have a limited understanding of lives that don’t resemble th...
