" I always say, 'try and push buttons, try and annoy people! '"
To coincide with the release of It's a Sin, Russell T Davies' new series, we spoke to producer Nicola Shindler.
Over the past two decades, Nicola Shindler has worked hand-in-hand with leading writers such as Russell T Davies, Sally Wainwright and Harlan Coben, helping to give birth to such strong, singular series as Queer as Folk, Happy Valley and Years and Years. After more than twenty years at the helm of RED Production Company (Studiocanal), she launched her new company, Quay Street Productions, in early 2021.
In this conversation with Caroline Palmstierna, she tells us about her rich, long-term creative collaborations, her taste for stories and characters, and her desire today to give a voice to new authors.
Many thanks to All3Media and Rachel Glaister for their help with this session.
